Synopsis
In this personal, irreverent book, Carl Walker represents the average stories of average people whose lives are routinely and often unnoticeably held together by the people who work in the NHS. These are the people who patch us up, sew us up, radiate, advise scan, plaster, console, repair, inject and support us, before delivering us back home to carry out our everyday affairs. A sharply observed collection of sometimes outrageous, often excruciating but always entertaining accounts of different interactions with one of Britain's greatest treasures. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
'A thoroughly enjoyable antidote to much of the nonsense peddled about the NHS these days...lively, sharp, informative.' -- Oliver Huitson 'Nothing about the savaging of the NHS makes me laugh. Until this book. Carl Walker mounts a timely defence of our National Health Service that just happens to be laugh out loud funny. Ideal for fans of 'not dying' every where.' Rufus Hound, Comedian 'In this short but endearing text, Walker discusses his NHS life...This is light and warm stuff, a candid blend of laddishness and New-Mannery. When GP's aren't inspecting his undercarriage for lumps, midwives are offering silent encouragement to him as he tries to do the right thing by his wife and change his newborn's nappy.'
