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 hardhitting 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 fainthearted. An outsider on the inside, in Stitched Up he introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters, including killers, con men and autocannibals. 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 its like to be their doctor in a system thats chronically overcrowded, drastically underresourced 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 hardhitting, 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
