“When you sit down and pick your A-levels, you’re set off on a trajectory that continues until you either retire or die,” wrote Adam Kay, of the decision to train as a doctor, in his record-breaking first memoir, This Is Going to Hurt. But as it turned out, Kay would find a different path, leaving medicine in 2010 and becoming a literary sensation. His comic account of life as a junior doctor sold more than 2.5m copies, was translated into 37 languages and became a major BBC series starring Ben Whishaw.

Now, in his second memoir, Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients (published by Orion on 15 September), Kay tells the story of what happened after leaving medicine. He looks back at his education, re-examines the scars left by his time in the NHS, and considers his decision to blow his life up and stitch it back together.

Next month, the Observer will publish a “You Ask the Questions”-style interview with Adam Kay. Whether you’re a medical professional yourself or a patient, now is the time to ask him a question of your choice. Does he miss being a doctor? Do people still ask him about their ailments at parties? And did he really witness a marriage proposal after extracting the ring from you-know-where?
