‘I left medicine, I stepped away, I became a comedian’: Adam Kay on the bad day that changed his life
His name may be familiar because in that new life, he wrote about his old life, writing that became the memoir, This is Going to Hurt.
Adam Kay is a former obstetric registrar who walked away from medicine after a “bad day at work”, one of those days that was so bad, that he now thinks he was experiencing PTSD.
It was back in 2010 and he was involved in the care of a woman with an undiagnosed placenta praevia.
