| Summary, etc. | 'Despite the headlines, actually the NHS has just had its best year ever.' Patricia Hewitt, Secretary of Sate for Health, eulogising to the BBC, 22nd April 2006 'Despite what the politicians say, things seem to have gone a bit tits-up recently.' Dr Nick Edwards, A&E doctor, ranting to his mates down the pub, 22nd April 2006. Dr. Nick Edwards is an Accident and Emergency (A&E) doctor working in the UK and a passionate believer in the National Health System (NHS). However, the reforms, political correctness, and the Anglo-Saxon culture of binge drinking and fighting, and the resulting A&E visits, are a strain on his sanity. So, to keep up his morale, he began writing down his feelingsa form of literary cathartic therapythe results of which make up this book. From dealing with cardiac arrests and car accidents, to people with Arrest Avoidance Syndrome, and others who havent quite read the big red sign above their heads as they walk into A&E, In Stitches paints a vivid picture of what its really like working at the sharp end of the NHS today. Its funny, its heartbreaking, and its infuriating. Its also more informative than any government press release. |
