The Medicine of Er: Or, How We Almost Die

Rating:
Summary: UndERated
Review: I think that the authors of this book really outdid themselves with this one. Having worked in a busy ER for sometime now, it is interesting to hear/see the ideas and beliefs of patients that they have learned my watching medical drama shows like "ER" and such. I wish that hospitals everywhere would buy millions of copies of this book and have them laminated and secured with metal cable to the chairs in the ER waiting area. The authors really "hit the nail on the head" with this piece. It pays omage to the millions of men and women who work their fingers to the bone in the ER's around the world. This book is a must for any students wanting to pursue a career in any field of emergency medicine.

Summary: Great book
Review: If you like the show ER, you'll like this book especially if you're interested in th technical aspects of it. The way the book combines the show "ER" with reality is great. The characters in ER pertained to when the book was written so it's like the season 2 cast I believe. Anyway, it's a great book that is definitely worth reading. I read it last year (I was 13) and it gave me a great insight into the reality of an ER and how TV isn't always true.
