Stories from the ER

This book is a series of stories written by medical professionals. Each story is unique and of health issues that were rare. Each chapter/story is reasonable in length. There won’t be time for boredom. I am considering reading Book Two.

Somebody told the care providers not to write clinically, so they channeled the last time they didn't: freshman composition. They are forever, taking the reader out of what could have been engaging experiences, and making "lessons" little too explicit. Especially awkward when people died.

Who actually wrote this? I worked in an ER for almost 3 years. Day shift and night shift. I have SEEN THINGS. But I’ve also talked to other people from every discipline that works in the ER, and not a single one would tell our stories in such a dull fashion.

This is a million 3 page stories that feel like they were written by high school juniors learning how to write essays.

I was so disappointed.

Excellent read, highly recommend

As a surgical nurse I love reading about the cases that other surgical teams have been presented with. Its always wonderful to read about the trials and challenges that other areas of the country present that you normally never have to deal with and how those challenges are addressed.
Only by constant study and the sharing of knowledge can we expect to do our very best for our patients. The cases presented are clear to persons who are not medically and yet not gory or off putting in the least. Wonderful salute to the dedicated doctors, nurses, EMT, and support staff that give their all in times of crisis.

Maybe 2 interesting stories at the beginning. After that, it was all cases involving an Emily, Sarah or Clara, who either had dementia, cancer or taught some “lesson” that was similar to the story before, all of whom were immensely grateful for the nurse they had during their experience, calling her a superhero at discharge.

Heartwarming as that is, not what the book advertised itself to readers as. For ER stories, it was dull.

1/10, would not recommend.

The best thing about this book is that it was short. And free. The cases really aren’t interesting, and probably half of each story is about how the author learned about compassion, or diversity, or resilience.

Good read

Many little stories make you feel and think of life in a different way. Would recommend to anyone who likes medical based books.

Interesting

It was interesting but the stories, and there for the chapters, are very short. Good for a quick, anecdotal, read.

[Nicole Brockman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed most of the stories, but each chapter was a story and it didn’t feel connected. It could have been written by a bunch of different people.

[Jessica LaMee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of the stories seem made up

[Paula · Rating 2 out of 5]

Stories are intriguing, but they are written in such a long manner, that I aged about a decade during a story capturing an hour.

[Nor Davis · Rating 3 out of 5]

the stories are all fascinating but I ended up getting burnt out with just how long and repetitive this book is so I did not finish it
