The new memoir from comedian Ed Patrick is one to look out for!
Catch Your Breath follows his work as an anaesthetist, navigating his way through emergencies, patients not breathing for themselves and living with a terrifying sense of responsibility. It’s enough to leave anyone feeling numb.
But don’t worry, there’s plenty of laughing gas to be had.
We are delighted to welcome Ed Patrick as he discusses the thoughts and developments of his book.
