GENRE: Medical Nonfiction | Collection of Short Stories
SETTING: Music Festivals | EDM
OPINION: M, M, & M is a collection of patient encounters by medical providers working the front lines of the medical tents at music festivals. From drug overdoses to scantily clad festival goers, from vomit to encounters with the port-a-potties, this collection had it all. I’d be lying if I said I was surprised by the patients....in fact, as an ER doctor myself, I’ve seen many of the same things. That said, the whole section regarding interactions with patients in the port-a-potties was enough to make me feel VERY happy being in a hospital based location!
If you’ve ever thought to ask a medical provider, “What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen?”...READ THIS BOOK!
PLEASE NOTE: All proceeds from the sale of this book benefit the First Responders Children’s Foundation!!
STAR RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
