Trauma: A Second Chance Medical Drama
As an ER nurse, she knew the day might come when her greatest fear happened, and after her husband of ten years dies in her trauma bay, moving on feels impossible. Struggling to overcome her loss, Elle Conroy navigates the world the only way she thinks she can.
Thrown from the top ranks of her career and drawn into the false comfort that diverted narcotics and alcohol bring, she fights to survive in an environment where daily reminders of her tragedy occur.
Despite the support of her first love and best friend, Dr. Daniel Ross, Elle spirals into the darkness caused by lies and her inability to cope. Unable to escape her nightmare, she counts the days until she can transfer to a job that takes less than everything.
But a new job won't save her from herself, and she must realize there is much more to lose than she thinks before she can rise to the top again.

enlightening
The storyline gave me a new appreciation for what our medical personnel go through each day. Fast paced, life at its worst, trauma that doesn’t leave your thoughts. Excellent read

Different!
This was a difficult book to read however I couldn't put it down.
I wasn't fond of the cursing, I felt the same results would have been met with different language.but all in all it was a good story.
