About the Book: Millions of readers fell for Adam Kay's diaries of life as a junior doctor in This Is Going to Hurt, a book that became a genuine cultural phenomenon and a hit BBC television series. Undoctored is the story of what came next: the reasons he left medicine, and the reckoning that followed. Kay pulls back the curtain on the events that pushed him out of the NHS, revisiting old wounds with a candour that is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. He examines what it means to build a new identity when the one you trained your whole life for disappears overnight. Structured with the same razor-sharp comic timing that made his earlier writing so beloved, the book moves between laugh-out-loud anecdotes and genuinely moving reflection on burnout, trauma and the messy business of starting again.
