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.
