Summary

 This is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But it was only part of the story.

By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him.

It's about an extraordinary medical school education.
It's about opening old wounds and examining the present-day scars.
It's about hospital admissions and personal ones.
It's about blowing up your life and stitching it back together.
It's about being a doctor and being a patient.
It's about 300 pages long.

Undoctored is Adam Kay's funniest and most moving book yet - an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain's finest storytellers.

This unabridged audio download, narrated by the author, features extra diary entries recorded in audio for the first time, and an audiobook exclusive interview with bestselling author and broadcaster The Reverend Richard Coles.

This was a brave and brutally honest account of ‘former Doctor’ Adam Kayes life after medicine, touching on the reasons for leaving, PTSD relating to his career in medicine and other traumatic life events. I really enjoyed listening to this and felt that it was more personal being read by Adam himself. The added discussion with Richard Cole’s at the end of the book was a lovely bit of bonus material.

Brave and honest

I love this book and want the decision makers of our NHS to read and understand it.

Excellent

I really enjoyed this book. Except that enjoy isn’t really the right word. It made me laugh out loud. It made me messy cry. It made me want to hug a doctor. Painful and enlightening and revealing and honest. Oh, and funny. I’m pleased that Adam Kay has revealed the NHS’s lack of time and funding to help their staff cope but it’s heartbreaking that someone has had to. I’m pleased that he has also shone a light on men’s mental health too. Hopefully someone reading it will feel able to ask for help with their mental health because of it. Hopefully someone else reading it will be jolted into going to A&E rather than ignoring their physical health! I also hope that it’s been cathartic to write.

As good as I’d hoped. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
