Synopsis

Presented as a true story, this book offers an account of working in A&E, described as different from what is shown on television dramas. Nick Edwards writes candidly about the realities of the job, including the impact of government targets and the pressures created by alcohol-related injuries.

Alongside the demanding and often distressing aspects of the work, the narrative also includes moments of humour, including unusual accidents, as well as material described as moving, tragic and heartbreaking. The updated edition adds further episodes and reflections from behind the A&E curtain.
