Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients
Ratings11
Average rating3.8
THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER This is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But it was only part of the story. By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him. It's about an extraordinary medical school education. It's about opening old wounds and examining the present-day scars. It's about hospital admissions and personal ones. It's about blowing up your life and stitching it back together. It's about being a doctor and being a patient. It's about 300 pages long. Undoctored is Adam Kay's funniest and most moving book yet - an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain's finest storytellers.

I know that it's kinda the point of the book to be graphic, but we did not need such a detailed account about bulimia techniques. It also felt like it was portrayed way too much in a jokey manner to fit the rest of the book, despite it being quite a serious subject matter. Maybe it was just me that found it uncomfortable, or maybe that's the point
Despite this, I enjoyed the rest of the book, especially as an audiobook. The topics he talks about are important and enlightening and I hope there's more to come
Another honest book from Adam Kay. I wouldn't say it was as funny and enjoyable as ‘This is going to hurt', but you get to see the real Adam in one.
