Adam Kay's secret diary from his time as a junior doctor This is Going to Hurtwas 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.
Now,Adam Kay returns and will once again have you in stitches in his painfully funny and startlingly powerful follow-up,Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran out of Patients. In his most honest and incisive book yet,he reflects on what's happened since hanging up his scrubs and examines a life inextricably bound up with medicine. Battered and bruised from his time on the NHS frontline,Kay looks back,moves forwards and opens up some old wounds.
Hilarious and heartbreaking,horrifying and humbling,Undoctored is the astonishing portrait of a life by one of Britain's best-loved storytellers.
