Based on Adam Kay's diary-style memoir of the same name, "Absolutely Laughable: The Diary of a Quit Doctor" (Chinese translation), the series stars Ben Whishaw as a fictional version of Adam. Adam is a doctor on the obstetrics and gynecology ward who struggles to navigate the hospital hierarchy - he is low enough to endure torturous working hours, but high enough to face a series of terrible responsibilities. Adam works 97 hours a week and needs to make various life and death decisions, knowing that even the hospital parking meters earn more than him. Faced with increasing pressure at work, he relies on his personal life to get through it all. The story tells the unvarnished true story of the hospital ward from the perspective of an intern doctor, depicting the uplifting and hilarious highs and also showing the painful lows.
