In Stitches

In Stitches paints a vivid, unflinching picture of life at the sharp end of the NHS. From handling cardiac arrests and car accidents to encounters with patients who ignore the obvious warning signs as they walk into A&E, this memoir reveals what it’s really like when every second counts. It’s a candid look at the realities, pressures, and small moments of humanity that shape frontline medicine today.

Trust Me, I'm a Junior Doctor

Starting on the evening before he begins work as a doctor, Max Pemberton’s journey through his first year in the NHS is revealing and relatable. What begins as youthful idealism gradually gives way to bewilderment as he discovers how much of his job is spent on forms, bureaucracy, and questions no one has explained yet. This honest account offers readers an approachable doorway into medical training—perfect for aspiring doctors, students, and anyone curious about the day-to-day realities behind the white coat.

The Prison Doctor

Dr Amanda Brown has treated inmates across the UK’s prisons—first in young offenders’ institutions, then at Wormwood Scrubs, and finally at Europe’s largest women-only prison, Bronzefield. Her stories span miraculous pregnancies and challenging births to dirty protests, violent attacks, and heartbreaking acts of self-harm. The Prison Doctor delivers a powerful, eye-opening look at healthcare inside incarceration and the resilience of both patients and clinicians under extraordinary conditions.

Fragile Lives

An incredible memoir from one of the world’s most eminent heart surgeons, Fragile Lives recalls some of the most remarkable and poignant cases in a career spent at life’s critical junctures. The metaphorical Grim Reaper sits on the heart surgeon’s shoulder as signs, slips, and tiny moments determine whether a patient lives or dies. In the operating room, there is no time for doubt, and this memoir captures the tension, trust, and fragile balance between possibility and consequence.
