In stitches : the highs and lows of life as an A&E doctor

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.
