Choosing an easy life as an anesthetist over the cut and thrust of art college, Steve Yentis has been drawing medical cartoons for the last 20 years, whilst waiting for surgeons to turn up or his regional blocks to work. This collection of drawings represents a wry look at life in the operating theatre, wards and clinic, as seen from the Head End, which is, of course, by far the more important end. Appealing to anyone who has ever worked in a hospital, this book will help pass the time during those long periods of inactivity between audit meetings. Exam candidates in particular will find it contributes absolutely nothing to their chances of success.
