Summary

Adam Kay's secret diary from his time as a junior doctor, THIS IS GOING TO HURT, was read by millions, translated into numerous languages, and adapted into a major BBC television series. But that was only part of the story. What happened when a physician leaves medicine - but medicine refuses to let go of HIM...? By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, UNDOCTORED reflects on a life inextricably bound up with medicine: from medical school education to what's happened since Dr. Kay, battered and bruised from his time on the NHS frontline, finally hung up his scrubs. It's about opening old wounds and examining present-day scars. About admissions both hospital and personal. About blowing up your life - and stitching it back together..
