About this listen
Now including new bonus chapter exclusive to this audiobook
A gut punch of a memoir by a doctor - and comedian - whose job is to keep people alive by putting them to sleep.
Ed Patrick is an anaesthetist.
Strong drugs for his patients, strong coffee for him. But it's not just sleep-giving for this anaesthetist, as he navigates emergencies, patients not breathing for themselves and living with a terrifying sense of responsibility. It's enough to leave anyone feeling numb.
But don't worry, there's plenty of laughing gas to be had.

"Ed's journey is funny, sad, harrowing, hilarious.... I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO READ THIS." (Colin Mochrie)

Great book
An excellent book!! Very funny but also very real. The narrator was great and added so much character to the book. This is one I will listen to over :-)

Boring, nothing new here and not even funny
And often not believable either (for the record I am an anaesthetist too)
Reader is annoyingly chirpy, oft times inappropriately
