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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn 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, as anyone of us could end up on the wrong side of the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated 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 is 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of This is Going to Hurt, The Secret Barrister, and A Bit of a Stretch, Professor Dame Sue Black's Stitched Up is a must-read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 127 x 199 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529176841\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Shahed Yousaf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44513532182778,"sku":"9781529176841","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692371360269_book.jpg?v=1692795622","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/stitched-up-stories-of-life-and-death-from-a-prison-doctor-9781529176841","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
