I had primarily chosen to read it as someone not 100% happy in medicine, and there weren’t any firm answers (can there be?) but it was food for thought.

This book though doesn‘t describe his life during his time as a doctor but his struggle afterwards, with some important flashbacks. Some might not like it, but I did. Down to all the gory details (it‘s those details people liked in his other books so why not now?)
The way he describes his struggle with ED, PTSD and SA…when he finally breaks down at the GP‘s office! All with his typical Adam-humour.
I loved this book and will recommend it to all my friends who loved the other books and the tv-show!

Undoctored is a continuation of Kay's debut novel This is Going to Hurt, following his life after leaving medicine, interspersed with flashbacks to his time in his old career. Kay gives the reader true insights into his own mind and life which really give the feeling that you know this version of him. He's at times achingly relatable and at others completely unlikeable, but throughout the whole book feels entirely and completely human, fuck ups and all.
This book was an absolutely incredible read, and I'll be on Kay's next book, whatever it is, like a wolf on a panini.
