You have to read this book. - Tim HarfordIts funny, touching and gobsmacking in equal measure. At its heart is a breathtaking account of life on the COVID frontline. - Jay RaynerEds journey is funny, sad, harrowing, hilarious... I STRONGLY URGE YOU TOREAD THIS. - Colin MochrieA 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 anesthesiologist. Strong drugs for his patients, strong coffee for him. But its not just sleep-giving for this anesthesiologist, as he navigates emergencies, patients not breathing for themselves and living with a terrifying sense of responsibility. Its enough to leave anyone feeling numb.But dont worry, theres plenty of laughing gas to be had.Very funny, very timely, scary in places. Ed writes with wit, insight, surprise and pathos. He is cutting his teeth in anesthesiology, taking people as close to death as you can take them, and then trying to wake them up again. And makes it funny. A joy to read. - Phil Hammond About the Author Dr Ed Patrick is an anaesthetist and a comedian.
