As I wrote my mind became more focused on how things could be improved, especially in view of the major NHS review that is about to happen to coincide with the 60 th anniversary of the NHS. The book is endorse by the nhs support federation and they are actively helping with publcity - http://www.nhscampaign.org/in-stitches-by-dr-nick-edwards.html  If they have contacted you about the book as well, then i apologise about the doubling of our efforts.

Review: No 1

In Stitches: The Highs and Lows of Life as an A and E Doctor , Having myself worked in an NHS Outpatient department for 30 years, I found this book a forthright and believable account of day-to-day life in an A & E department.

The author demonstrates his sincere dedication to the NHS, and his concerns about the constraints on patient treatments because of the need to fulfil government targets.

The book is written in a colloquial, anecdotal manner, frequently amusing, but making serious comments too. I enjoyed reading it, and would hope that the points raised are taken on board by the Government.

Not for the squeamish - or before the nine o'clock watershed!

Review No 2 

I read this book whilst on holiday recently and working in ITU myself i have to say that all that he says is absolutely true!!

To those with the sense of humor that has been crafted by years working in the NHS it is both hilarious and moving. We see many highs and lows in our job and Dr Edwards ability to laugh at himself is the key skill to get each of us through the long and sometimes harrowing days!! Many of his rants mirror both my own and my colleagues and the patients that he describes seem to be the very same that i end up caring for!! A very funny release for those of us working in the NHS and a kind reminder to those who don't that accident and emergency is NOT somewhere to go when you have a cold!!

Read it and weep with both laughter and sadness!!
Really worth a look! The Save Bridlington Hospital Campaign Action Group support this Hilarious Book
