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

emotional funny hopeful sad fast-paced

4.0

Undoctored sort of picks up where This is Going to Hurt leaves off. But this is more a memoir than a diary, with connected flashbacks linked between chapters. Most of these are from Kay's time as a med student, and we get a lot of insight into his journey into medicine, as well as the effect leaving it (and writing his first book) had on his life.

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.
