Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients by Adam Kay

emotional funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.75

Kay really got me thinking with this book. With reflections on continuing with medicine and dealing with personal battles, I found myself reflecting and empathising with Kay's experiences.
The chapters about his eating disorder,  sexual assault and then when he finally saw his GP, struck a chord in me. It reminded me of the importance of speaking out even when I struggle to get the words out. He is right in saying that medical school prepares you to not speak out so the fight against it starts now.
Despite this, Kay continued his ability to make me laugh out loud with his anecdotes, so I thoroughly enjoyed without a dull moment.
