Description
The book to be seen on everybody's beach towel, or open on the bedside table; For everyone who has gobbled up the latest Marian Keyes. To a world of readers who love the way Jodi Piccoult opens up other worlds. To all those who don't want to give away their age but who still remember the way everyone was reading Spud, the latest Margie Orford, The Innocence of Roast Chicken...This is the book for you; Adam Kay popularised the humorous medical memoir with This is Going to Hurt, and Paul Kalanaithi's When Breath Becomes Air had us weeping. Anne Biccard manages to combine the best of both.

'A rare and intimate insight into the thoughts and experiences of an ED doctor and her responses to the idiosyncratic cast of characters that she meets. A deeply ironic, humorous and yet compassionate and informative book. A must read.' Professor Gillian
