Gettin' Poetic on Anaesthetic is a light-hearted memoir guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, or even wet your pants! A memoir is all about the ability to see life through the writer's eyes. Allow yourself to see the world through Simon's and you will read an honest, witty and sometimes whacky portrayal of what it's like to stay in an NHS hospital today. It starts by focusing on life growing up in Essex and the accidents he had as a boy, but then centres around the operation that prompted the title. Full of comedy and nostalgia, Simon gives you some cringe-worthy yet hilarious accounts of his life, mostly at his expense. If you have been, or indeed are about to go in to hospital for an operation, Gettin' Poetic on Anaesthetic could be the perfect medicine.
