Description
Gas Man is an unflinching account of life as a paediatric anaesthetist. Colin Black recounts his journey from accidental medical student to Consultant at Ireland's largest children's hospital, revealing the high-pressure world of medicine's frontline.
The book offers a unique insight into the daily struggles and triumphs of this fascinating profession, where every day can be a heady cocktail of severe pressure, poignancy, and social awkwardness. With razor-sharp wit and forthright honesty, Black shares his experiences as an anaesthetist, revealing what happens between patients waking up from surgery.
Part memoir, part behind-the-scenes look at the medical profession, Gas Man is a disarming and frequently hilarious account of life in one of medicine's most demanding and rewarding fields.
