Adam Kay - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

“It’s not thick skin, it’s scar tissue.”

Doctor-turned-comedian and writer Adam Kay on why he left his medical career and if he’ll ever return to it, attitudes towards the NHS and its staff, his new-found passion of writing for children, and what he thinks of the TV adaptation of his best-selling book This Is Going To Hurt.

Plus he waxes lyrical over the band he’s seen “more than his family”, Pulp!
