Jak svět přichází o doktory – Kay Adam (2023)

The first book by Adam Kay, "This Will Hurt, Doctor?", his secret diary from the days when he was a young doctor, became a literary phenomenon. Millions of people around the world have read it, it has been translated into 37 languages, and a successful mini-series for BBC television was created based on its themes. But that was not the whole story of Adam. Now Adam Kay returns—and he will ensure that the continuation of his life story not only entertains you but also moves you. In his most candid book yet, he recalls what happens when a doctor hangs up their coat but medicine won’t let them go. He tells of extraordinary medical training and what it’s like to open old wounds and examine the scars they left behind. He narrates about hospital admissions and the acceptance of oneself. About what happens when you shatter your life into pieces and stitch it back together. And about what it’s like to be both a doctor and a patient. Funny yet touching, shocking yet humble, "How the World Loses Doctors" is an amazing portrait of life in medicine and beyond from one of the best contemporary British storytellers.
