This book is vulnerable, witty, startling, and necessary. Adam Kay and his acerbic style of writing take you through an vulnerable journey of the doctor who ran out of patients. Kay details the PTSD he battled with following his years as a doctor; he's stuggle to adjust to life post medicine including the difficulty in establishing himself as a comedic writer; and Kay explains the pressures and challenges posed to his relationships with loved ones both during and after leaving medicine from the toll medicine takes to his family and there Outlook on why he left medicine.
This book was jarring, it was hilarious, and it was so deeply personal. It takes a brave individual to bare themselves to the world as Kay has done and he has achieved it with wit, humour, and kindness to himself showing a level of introspection many lack.
