Newcomer Ambika Mod, meanwhile, portrays Adam’s junior colleague, Shruti, in a dysfunctional mentor-mentee partnership. Whishaw’s Adam is halfway through his training – no longer the most junior clinician on the ward, but certainly not the most experienced. The huge success of Kay’s book means this TV adaption starring Ben Whishaw ( A Very English Scandal) is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the year – and it’s a series that more than lives up to its hype. Kay himself left the medical profession in 2011 after the toil had become too much. Doctors, he showed, weren’t more than human – just human. And they’re doing all they can for you despite unimaginably challenging circumstances, situations and conditions, and often at great personal cost. Because what’s often forgotten when we call them heroes (or villains) is the person at the end of your bed trying to solve your health problems, even save your life, is no different to you. Kay’s diaries opened the public’s eyes in how we view doctors. Warning: Third party content may contain adverts
