About this listen

What Seems to Be the Problem with Adam Kay and Mark Watson reveals the intriguing and hilarious ways the body can go wrong - and the amazing stories that unfold when the medical world tries to help....

In conversation with his (very health-anxious) friend, the comedian Mark Watson, best-selling doctor-turned-writer Adam Kay takes a scalpel to the bizarre past, often-surprising present and fantastical future of medicine.

From Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary experiments all the way to Adam’s own eye-watering experience on the wards, What Seems to Be the Problem is riddled with wild historical tales, contemporary anecdotes and jaw-dropping facts. A fascinating and funny trip through humanity’s often misguided attempts to make us better.

Most relevant

While there is some good information here, a lot of it is rambling and Adam and Mark are constantly talking over each other which gets annoying. Not a patch on "This is going to hurt" and more like a podcast than an audiobook. Not sure its worth the price and I will be trading it for something else.
