Fruitcake: Ten Commandments From the Psych Ward

Comic, poet and reformed psychiatric nurse Rob Gee presents a user-friendly guide to losing the plot. 

Fruitcake charts a night shift on an acute psychiatric ward, seen through the eyes of a jaded nurse who hears the voice of God – a kindly Jamaican woman – who gives him ten benevolent commandments to help him through the shift; and life.
