Synopses

Trust Me Im a Junior Doctor

Beginning on the night before he starts work as a doctor, Max Pemberton follows his first year in the NHS. Moving from youthful idealism to bewilderment, he discovers how much of the job involves forms and learning essential details that no one has explained, including how to tell whether someone is dead.

In Stitches

A revised and updated true story from an A&E doctor, written with frank honesty about what it is like to work in A&E. Dr Nick Edwards describes the impact of government targets on patient care, the scale of alcohol-related injuries, and the difficulty of looking after those who arrive at the hospital door.

Where Does it Hurt?

In his second year of medicine, Max Pemberton leaves the wards to work on the streets with the Phoenix Outreach Project. With more enthusiasm than experience, he attempts to find and treat a wide range of patients, from an 80-year-old drugs mule to encounters in a Tesco car park, as well as middle-class mums addicted to appearances and pain killers.
