CATCH YOUR BREATH: THE SECRET LIFE OF A SLEEPLESS ANAESTHETIS by Ed Patrick

Ed Patrick . Unknown Year . English

'Brilliantly funny.' - Matt Lucas 'You have to read this book.' - Tim Harford 'It's funny, touching and gobsmacking in equal measure. At its heart is a breathtaking account of life on the COVID frontline.' - Jay Rayner 'Ed's journey is funny, sad, harrowing, hilarious... I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO READ THIS.' - Colin Mochrie 'Very Funny.' - Fern Brady 'I love your book Catch your Breath, it just feels so personal and so refreshing.' - Adil Ray, Saturday Live 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. 'Very funny, very timely, scary in places. Ed writes with wit, insight, surprise and pathos. He is cutting his teeth in anaesthetics, 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

‘Catch Your Breath’ by Ed Patrick is now available to order Hi, hello, welcome, welcome to my Amazon page. Please, take a seat. Tea or coffee? Coffee for me. So, thank you for visiting. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a comedian and also a doctor, specifically an anaesthetist (or anaesthesiologist if you're in the USA, or playing scrabble). I have written my first book 'Catch Your Breath' a funny and honest story about becoming an anaesthetist, and then also being at the forefront of a little-known, worldwide pandemic. I continue to juggle medicine, comedy, NHS infrastructure and writing. Other things I've done include creating and presenting the pilot Infectious Personalities on BBC Radio 2, where my guests were Charlie Brooker and Sindhu Vee. I have also written and performed on BBC Radio 4 and written for the Guardian. But is there anything else you can get your hands on, I hear you cry? But of course, my book is available to pre-order on Amazon. And I've also done several podcasts, ALL available on your favourite platforms: Comedians' Surgery podcast - where I interview comedians about their health and medical stories, with some features and games thrown in. There are around 50 episodes featuring guests such as James Acaster, Rose Matafeo, Joe Lycett, Reginald D Hunter and Andy Hamilton. Coffee and Covid podcast - where I catch up with NHS friends across the UK about life on during the pandemic lockdown (edited by my girlfriend, please say it sounds good). Dandelion, the Witcher and the Wardrobe podcast - a fan podcast where both I and fellow comedian Bilal Zafar follow the Netflix series "The Witcher" You can follow me on twitter or instagram, under the handle @parmapatrick I'll add more for you later, but please enjoy all this. And if you've bought my book, thank you so much! I'm off to grind some coffee beans
