While every other chapter is a little anecdote from back in those days that links to things he touches on within the chapters, what this one actually is is more of a memoir, and we get to dig deeper into the mind of Adam Kay and kind of scope him out as a person. The fact Undoctored follows on from his mammoth success with This Is Going To Hurt in 2017, which itself was adapted by Kay into a BBC TV series starring Ben Whishaw earlier this year, and he’s also found time to release follow-up Twas The Nightshift Before Christmas, as well as few children’s books, would suggest that it’s all gone swimmingly well. Ale pod tą całą otoczką śmiechu i żartów, książka jest też niezwykle osobista, momentami smutna i czuła - historia z babcią dowiadującą się, że Adam jest gejem i jest w szczęśliwym zwiazku z meżczyzną 🥹. I jak ja żałuję, że mnie na spotkaniu z nim nie było ostatnio w Warszawie i że wtedy nie wiedziałam o tym fragmencie!

Oj nie wszystkim się to spodoba, miejscami serio jest grubo (xD), ale ja złapałam bakcyla i dzięki temu spędziłam kilka godzin z uśmiechem na twarzy.It took just under two minutes including settling into the chair and getting up and saying thank you. 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.

Whatever the NHS’s failings, there’s no fairer way to decide who to treat than ‘everyone’ and no better way to treat them all than ‘equally’. He is a low-key performer, unflashily standing behind a lectern shaped like a giant pill bottle, but his writing is taut and concise. I ask how much he cares what people think (my hunch is that he minds keenly) and he replies: “It varies. Countless family members wanted to become doctors but something or other prevented them from following that path.I make a point of staying in touch with everyone,’ he says, ‘because I feel I have to bang the gong for junior doctors in particular and I have to know what it’s like on the ground. I think Adam’s approach to life and his writing will divide people- of course, I am not defending any commentary that does show disregard, but I do think this book allows us to see a human side that is sometimes forgotten in the association of the medical field.

Undoctored by Adam Kay review: the real pain behind This Is

We can do a lot better in terms of public health awareness and engagement, getting people to understand what being healthy means. At Edinburgh, we are allocated a tutor and rotate in a circle taking a history from an actor patient. A diary about life as a junior doctor working on an obstetrics ward seemed an unlikely publishing bet. I na koniec jest też bardzo cenne przesłanie, że czasami warto rzucić wszystko i zacząć robić to co się kocha, nawet jeśli wszyscy w koło ci tego odradzają. Nie wiem czy brzmi to dla was ciekawie, ale polecam bo książka jest po prostu okrutnie śmieszna, pełno tu czarnego humoru, trochę cringe’u i jechania po bandzie.Granted, Undoctored is a memoir that would naturally include details about his personal life after leaving the NHS (British Healthcare system). Doctors shouldn’t tell patients to do anything, healthcare professionals should be in collaborative discussion with patients so that they are both on the same side.
