✦ Synopsis

The true story of an A&E; doctor that became a huge word-of-mouth hit - now revised and updated.

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.
