(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) Adam Kay, the 42-year-old former junior doctor, has seen great success with his book 'This Is Going To Hurt' and the Bafta-nominated TV show it inspired. His new podcast, The List Of Absolutely Everything That Might Kill You, co-hosted with Matt Edmondson, delves into the hidden dangers of life and how we can stay alive.
When asked about dying, Adam says he's experienced it enough in his former professional life that he's become desensitised to it. He also talks about his newfound celebrity status, which he humbly refers to as somewhere between an F- and J-lister, and how he uses his platform to advocate for charities such as the Laura Hyde Foundation and Doctors In Distress.
When reflecting on his pay packet as a junior doctor in 2010, Adam acknowledges that it was 25 per cent more in real terms than what junior doctors get now. While he's glad his book has discouraged some from entering the profession, he encourages those considering a career in medicine to go in with their eyes wide open.
Finally, Adam expresses his concerns for the future of the NHS as it approaches its 75th birthday, emphasizing his distress at the thought of it not lasting another 75 years.
