Undoctored
Undoctored: Pre-order the brand-new book from the author of 'This Is Going To Hurt' | Adam Kay
9 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
Pre-order UNDOCTORED: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients 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 enjoyed this one just as much as the first.

Read for reading challenges.

Still entertaining but not as good as his first two. I love Adams dry humour, but I really missed the diary entries from his previous books. I found this more depressing than I did funny. Kudos to him for baring all, though, that took some guts.

Finished Undoctored and a short story Mixtapes and Rollerskates yesterday (which is not in the Litsy database).

Undoctored did not disappoint. Much more vulnerable than his previous 2 memoirs. I am glad he decided to include the section on disordered eating. The epilogue mentions it was nearly scrapped. He is such an important voice for the advocacy of mental health in healthcare. ⬇️

MatchlessMarie Mixtapes and Rollerskates was very cute story with lots of 90s music references. 🛼 🎶 #JoysofJune 1y

Some of you might remember how excited so was to read this back in September when it was released. I have been checking dutifully every time I get an audible credit but it hasn‘t been available in the states… till now. 🥲 I am sure the US audible release coincides with the paperback release— which is today 🥳💚

Crazeedi I read a previous book by the author and enjoyed! Adding 1y

Just as good as Kay's first memoir. Less haha funny, more honest and vulnerable. This book is an important contribution to a conversation about navigating significant changes in lives, and traumatic experiences. I was glad I listened to it, because Kay's narration really brings these stories to life.

When I tell you how much I was looking forward to starting this book today 🤡 I haven‘t seen a US publication date yet. 🥲

julesG This is weird. Shouldn't make a difference which country you come from. Still, the same thing happened to me on Tuesday when I tried to buy Nona the Ninth. In my case, at 9.30am suddenly I could buy it. 2y
MatchlessMarie @julesG Maybe I am too eager. Will keep refreshing 😆 it‘s not even 5 am here. 2y
julesG Fingers crossed! 2y
julesG That said, there are a bunch of audiobook that I cannot buy because I live in Germany. Doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm sure there is a reason for it. 2y
MatchlessMarie @julesG It happens with music too. There are some bands who have singles available in some countries and not others. I think it‘s a licensing issue. The price for loving international artists/authors haha 2y
