Undoctored managed it with ease.
I genuinely laughed, cringed and cried reading this book. In one hand he'll feed you a funny story about his life and in the other he slaps you with the reality that life is sometimes hard, and he seems to have got somewhat of an unfair share.
He speaks with honesty about eating disorders, SA and mental health struggles alongside the institutional issues within the medical industry. It never feels hopeless, yet he doesn't sugar coat and I hope his writing on this topics helps those who need to hear it.
I can't fault this book, and I highly recommend picking it up even if its not what you usually go for.

As with TIGTH it's really funny, but the raw emotion hits hard. The shit that this man has been through, both as a result of his time as a doctor and long predating it, is insane. It's a very messy memoir of a clearly unfinished story. Kay is searingly honest and it's incredible to read about his journey to this point.
