About this listen

What Seems to Be the Problem with Adam Kay and Mark Watson reveals the intriguing and hilarious ways the body can go wrong - and the amazing stories that unfold when the medical world tries to help....

In conversation with his (very health-anxious) friend, the comedian Mark Watson, best-selling doctor-turned-writer Adam Kay takes a scalpel to the bizarre past, often-surprising present and fantastical future of medicine.

From Leonardo da Vinci’s extraordinary experiments all the way to Adam’s own eye-watering experience on the wards, What Seems to Be the Problem is riddled with wild historical tales, contemporary anecdotes and jaw-dropping facts. A fascinating and funny trip through humanity’s often misguided attempts to make us better.

Contains strong language.

I was a massive fan of 'this is going to hurt', so perhaps my expectations were too high. This would've been better set as a podcast rather than an audible book. Some interesting facts but felt messy to listen to.

Not what I was expecting

I mostly liked this book - I adore Adam Kay and there are lots of hilarious and really interesting snippets. However the delivery is just awful, with Mark Watson constantly chipping in with sometimes funny, sometimes not one-liners. With all the talking over each other, it was actually exhausting to listen to.

Very funny, but ...
