Belly Full

Om boken

Belly Full is a forthright and unflinching account of the ill-health of the NHS in general and Emergency Medicine services in particular — and a bold record of Dr Heidi Edmundson’s own health crisis.

It offers a candid view of what it is really like to work on the front line of the nation’s health emergency, and the devastating implications for the well-being of our doctors and nurses.

The book is also alive to the rewards of living, and to the commitment to a specialism that prizes the incandescent work of decision-making, risk and recovery — values that are at the heart of emergency medicine and, maybe, also at the heart of life.
