by Kerry Hamm

Volume 17 of A Collection of Reader-Submitted Medical Stories is still here with angry medics, tired RNs, LEOs galore, and flabbergasted doctors. What was waiting in the backseat as a hospital security guard moved a patient's vehicle? If you lost your new Littmann, to what extremes would you go to get it back?In this edition, we have weird ideas patients had about sex and reproductive health, hear more from school nurses, and thank our lucky stars we weren't on THAT shift.

Don't have the energy to review right now but just want to say I really enjoyed this book of hers.
Gave me much needed distractions and laughs.

New health and life stuff popping up, just feel tired and uncertain and hoping that I'm right and the medical person only partially right.

reread - 11/2/22

This was my second read of this book. I love all of Kerry Hamm's books honestly. And this one was no different.

This book is a collection of medical - related stories. They are reader-submitted stories from EMS, ER nurses / techs, etc. Some stories are better than others per usual, that can be expected with any sort of short story collection.

I'll definitely read more by this author.

Fun and lighthearted reading for mid-pandemic reading

Pretty funny stories. Some are far fetched but who can judge. We're 7 months in Quarantine (senior citizen) and that's far fetched too. Anything is possible these days.

A very good medical stories book

This book was really good information about people who had to be treated for injuries or sickness. It is sad the way some people act. You really feel for the ones who are trying to help these people. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Funny as Heck

I like reading these short hilarious highlights of Emergency Personnel. I can read a lot or a little, but it's always a chuckle.

Reader Submissions

Love your books. Love your stories, both short and long - long is best! Take mental health weeks if tu sed to. Your readers certainly understand.

[Vicki Stichman]

Laugh out loud!

If I didn't know these stories were true I would say some are made up! I hope to read all of your books! Some are so funny while others are unbelievable!

[Gail]

Good Laughs

As a retired RN, I find these stories delightful. I can picture many of them happening and am happy that others I could only be happy with not being able to picture. Medical people should enjoy these books. Others may not believe that these things can happen. But I know they do. It's called life.

Loved it!

I just love reading your stories. Please don't ever stop writing. I love hearing how some people are so crazy, it's hard to believe. Had to pull the tissues out several times. Thanks Kerry!

Excellent, as Always

Kerry Hall's book have all been great reads. I think I enjoyed the chickens as therapy animals the most. Who would have thought that would work? And the management decided against a therapy dog which has been tried and true.

[Lizz Axnick]

I LOL'D at a lot of these (and no not little old lady!). I love these books as a nursing student and now as a grad nurse myself. Thanks Kerry!

Some people are writers. Others contribute to anthologies of this sort.

Entertaining Read

This book follows others by Kerry Hamm in being entertaining reads. I can hardly get enough of her books, and I am looking forward to more from her.

[Jessica Babcock]

Love this book as much as Kerry's other books.

A humorous collection of stories from hospital staff, EMS and other medical professionals. Nice fluff read
