'Stories that will curl your toes, make you laugh out loud and
break your heart all at the same time.' PROFESSOR DAME SUE BLACK,
author of All That Remains Why would anyone want to work with
thieves, murderers and rapists? Told from the inside out, this is a
harrowing, humorous and hard-hitting tale of life behind bars by a
prison doctor who has seen it all. Literally. Dr Shahed Yousaf
spends his time running between emergencies - from overdoses to
assaults, from cell fires to suicides - with one hand perpetually
hovering over the panic button. Being a prison doctor is not for
the faint-hearted. An outsider on the inside, in Stitched Up he
introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters, including
killers, con men and auto-cannibals. To Dr Yousaf, they are
patients first and prisoners second - because any one of us could
end up on the wrong side of the law. Dedicated to caring for people
on the margins of society, he tells us honestly and compassionately
what it's like to be their doctor in a system that's chronically
overcrowded, drastically under-resourced and all too easy to
ignore. But while the system is failing, he and his colleagues are
doing their very best to prop it up. In stories that are frequently
harrowing, sometimes humorous and always hard-hitting, we discover
how difficult it is to be locked up - but that there is still hope
for all those who dare to care. For fans of This is Going to Hurt,
The Secret Barrister and A Bit of a Stretch
