From Booklist
Editor Brown brings both legal and medical degrees and a decade's experience in emergency medicine to compiling this set of 100 poems, essays, and stories by physicians and nurses. As with nearly any collection, this one is best read in short sessions in order to feel the full force of each entry. Together, the writings here illuminate the broad range of reasons why patients arrive in the emergency room, the work and the attitudes of the paramedics and police officers who bring them there, and the responses of family and friends. The reported conversation among ER staff and between staff and patients runs the gamut from black humor that may upset nonmedical readers to profoundly involved dialogue. Top-drawer contributions include the story of the nurse who alertly observed one portion of a chicken restaurant napkin in a rape victim and, later and separately, another portion in a gunshot wound in the rapist and the story of the physician who donated his own shoes to a homeless victim who had been robbed of his. A graphic, intense, and successful anthology. William Beatty

From Library Journal
Emergency! presents life and death vignettes culled from emergency rooms across the country, as told by doctors and nurses in their own words. Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, it reflects the full range of human behavior in both patients and staff, often under extreme duress. The editor, himself an ER physician, offers the reader brief glimpses into the controlled chaos that is the modern emergency room, in no particular order since, as he says, that's the way the patients come in. You never know what's coming through the door. As the popular TV series ER and Chicago Hope demonstrate, there is an appetite for the drama inherent in emergency rooms. Moving, satisfying, and sometimes disturbing, this book is highly recommended.

Format:Taschenbuch
I have read this book a number of times. I have also given it to all of my friends and fellow EMT's. At gatherings I would read out loud from the book. They are scary but true stories. (and some are very funny)
Format:Taschenbuch
When I first saw this book, I thought it would be terrible anthology of doctors from ERs, who just wanted to make alittle money. So I passed it off for a book on military leadership.
But, the second time I saw it, I read it for the sake of reading something new. However, after getting through the first chapter, I read the whole book that afternoon.
This was a great book because it captured humans, who are doing comparatively little to change society. But, are saving the world in the eyes of their patients and anyone who comes in contact with them.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is THE most interesting book I have ever read. BTW, I couldnt find this book anywhere locally. Thank you AMAZON.com!
