Publisher Description

The true story of an A&E doctor that became a huge word-of-mouth hit.

Forget what you have seen on Casualty or Holby City, this is what it is really like to be working in A&E.

Dr Nick Edwards writes with shocking honesty about life as an A&E doctor. He lifts the lid on government targets that led to poor patient care. He reveals the level of alcohol-related injuries that often bring the service to a near standstill. He shows just how bloody hard it is to look after the people who turn up at the hospital door.

But he also shares the funny side – the unusual ‘accidents’ that result in with weird objects inserted in places they really should have ended up – and also the moving, tragic and heartbreaking.

It really is an unforgettable read.

👏

Informative and factual, some parts were hilarious.

A selection of anecdotes

Every politician looking to improve the NHS, or believing they already have, should read this.
It’s quite an easy book to read, as all the chapters are very short, about one anecdote each. There is some repetition, but should be easy enough for politicians to learn from
