Catch Your Breath: the Secret Life of a Sleepless Anaesthetist
- This event has passed.
Dr Ed Patrick
Dr Ed Patrick will be talking about his new book Catch Your Breath: The Secret Life of a Sleepless Anaesthetist, a gut punch of a memoir by a doctor – and comedian – whose job is to keep people alive by putting them to sleep. But it’s not just about sleep-giving for Ed as he navigates emergencies, patients not breathing for themselves and living with a terrifying sense of responsibility.
