Undoctored: The brand new No 1 Sunday Times bestseller from the author of 'This Is Going To Hurt’

Product Information

An insight to the authors life during and after being a doctor. Found myself giggling at some of the things wittily mentioned! Although I found it took a dark turn at the “worst gig” chapter! It’s an uncomfortable read although I understand why it’s there. So I told them the truth: the hours are terrible, the pay is terrible, the conditions are terrible; you’re underappreciated, unsupported, disrespected and frequently physically endangered. But there’s no better job in the world.” Undoctored was every bit as hilarious as I expected it to be, if not more given the subject matter. It certainly helped that, rather than random Harry Potter characters, everyone was named after MCU characters. It details Adam's (yes, first name basis) life after leaving medicine including:

I was super excited to dive into this book because This Is Going to Hurt remains one of my favourite non fiction books of all time. While I still really liked this one, it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. Coming out to his family (I was confused about this because I thought he had already come out and that H, his partner from This Is Going to Hurt was a man, I think I probably got the TV show mixed up) Now I understand him better, I understand his cruelty. He never extended kindness to himself. This book is breathtakingly sad, and I suspect that will anger him, too.And despite all the humor and funny moments there is a criticism at the job and the medical system which I believe is universal and not confined to the UK. I did not know Kay was queer and another thing that made me a bit confused was how he talked a lot about being in a tight spot with money despite his books having sold million of copies -to be fair most of it was prior to him becoming very successful as an author- Adam Kay is witty and has a dry sense of humour that some people will love or hate. I personally enjoyed Undoctored for his charismatic uptake on difficult times that you’d never expect anyone to take the time to flesh out into writing. He does give us an insight to his life, his new relationship and how he is truly coping with his new lease of life. I quite appreciated Kay’s frankness- there is no sugar coating by all means. He puts it plain and simple and issues us with stark warnings about the process of diving into a new career path when the other one mentally and physically depleted him. It opens with a nightmare: his recurring nightmare of a baby he cannot save. But that is only the first of his agonies. His prat falling is vast in its scope, the self-destruction of an artist. classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as A favourite passage, about going through his stuff in his parents' attic and finding his half-skeleton from medical school:

When secondary school came around, I became a wide-eyed, wide-beaked gosling, force-fed the corn that would eventually lead to its starring role in a foie gras starter. My evenings, weekends and holidays were stuffed with exam revision, interview practice, work experience and med-school-mandated extra-curricular activities. There definitely wasn't any time for spare socialising. [...] Sometimes, the loneliest feelings of all don't come from total isolation but from being on the edge of the cword, watching the rest of the world live its life, as if it's happening on television and not three feet away from you in the canteen. But I told myself that maybe this was just what adulthood was like sometimes. THIS IS GOING TO HURT was the bestselling non-fiction book of the century – a frank, funny and furious look at the brutal realities of life in the NHS. Sometimes it felt like a PR stunt, yet some of the stuff he discussed was brutal and honest, and heartbreaking and obviously things he struggled to share. At the end of the book, reflecting on it, I enjoyed it more than I did actually reading it. That's the second time in a row I've had that experience - yesterday it was with Sorry For Your Loss: What Working with the Dead Taught Me About Life so I can't tell if it's the books or me! If you enjoyed This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor you might enjoy this one. It's quite different, a whole lot more introspective, and much less episodic. Enjoyable, without a doubt.But, if you've read anything by Kay, you know that even when the subject matter is horrific or sad, he is very, very funny. The humour is often on the raunchy side here, but there are also moments of raw honesty. He puts it this way: "I've never thought of those two theatre masks as comedy and tragedy, more as how I present myself on stage versus how I actually feel." The structure of the book makes it very easy and even addictive to read. And, like in his children's books, there are some fun running gags: his made-up metaphor "like a wolf on a panini," and faking an anglicisation "replace-all"-gone-wrong to turn participants into "particitrousers." guidelines unless otherwise stated.

Zacznijmy (a właściwie prawie skończmy) od tego, że w ogóle każdy człowiek, ale… „każdy lekarz ma jakieś dziwactwa…” An exacting title - how to live after leaving the profession that I’m guessing he expected to spend the rest of his life in - the journey may have been derailed but now he’s fully in control of the train…. Sort of? Next month, the Observer will publish a “You Ask the Questions”-style interview with Adam Kay. Whether you’re a medical professional yourself or a patient, now is the time to ask him a question of your choice. Does he miss being a doctor? Do people still ask him about their ailments at parties? And did he really witness a marriage proposal after extracting the ring from you-know-where? Send us your questions That’s what Kay does: bodies exploding. But Undoctored is also – and I do not know how conscious this is – an exploration of the comic personality type. Comics explode too: with words; with rage. I hated this book. I just couldn’t get into it. I really enjoyed “This is going to hurt” but I just didn’t find this funny at all. Gave up after a few chapters.This book is slightly different from his other 'memoirs' - it feels a lot more personal and really delves deep into Kay's mental health and post traumatic stress. It looks at Adam Kay as a person, rather than anecdotes within his career within the NHS. Adam Kay's secret diary from his time as a junior doctor This is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century. It has been read by millions, translated into 37 languages, and adapted into a major BBC television series. But that was only part of the story. A lot has happened to Adam Kay since he left medicine, and even since he wrote This Is Going to Hurt; only some of it has made it into the books he's published since then ( Twas the Nightshift before Christmas and two books for children, Kay's Anatomy and Kay's Marvellous Medicine). I've read all of these and there were still things here that surprised me. I knew he is now married to a man named James, having been married to a woman he calls H in his first book; whatever, none of my business, but I presumed he was bi or his orientation had changed. Instead, he reveals that he was gay all along (had known he was since childhood, had even come out to his parents during his uni years), but still went along with a heterosexual marriage with all the best intentions. To an extent, he was doing what his parents expected of him, just as he was in following in his GP father's footsteps instead of pursuing music. I was genuinely horrified to read about Adam getting raped in New Zealand. What an absolutely horrendous experience! It also broke my heart to read,
