With his stethoscope now hung up, Adam shares more suture-splitting anecdotes from both on and off the wards. From the hilarious to the profoundly moving, from the first days of medical school to life after the NHS, UNDOCTORED is an astonishing portrait of an extraordinary life, from one of Britain's finest - and funniest - storytellers.Critic Reviews
Brilliant - even better than This is Going to Hurt Jacqueline Wilson
Very funny, very moving - Adam Kay has done it again, the talented c**. PS sorry for swearing in this quote Charlie Brooker
Adam Kay is at the top of his game here. Even his footnotes are funnier than most comedians' best gags. But there is darkness here, too, and he handles it so well I had to lay the book aside until my heart was ready for the rest. Ian Rankin
Every bit as funny as the first one, every bit as powerful, surprising and unflinching David Whitehouse
I don't think anyone has made me laugh so much about the human body as Adam Kay, while simultaneously bestowing the gift of impotent rage at the state of the NHS Reverend Richard Coles
Spectacularly brilliant Cathy Rentzenbrink
A gaspingly honest, hilarious and heartbreaking book from one of Britain's funniest writers Grace Dent

Fantastic. Everything you could want in a book. Liz Jones's Diary Podcast
The reason Adam Kay sells millions of books is not because he used to be a doctor, it's because he writes so well. Undoctored is another triumph; funny and moving and thoughtful. Dr Phil Hammond
Thank you, Adam Kay [...] for your courage, candour, wit (and filth, of course) in your brilliant new memoir. Undoctored really is fantastic. Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life *
