"GRIPPING."
--Booklist
A crane falls on a hapless mother of two, almost crushing her to
death . . . A trauma victim of a helicopter crash desperately
clings to life . . . A paralegal aide suffers a violent seizure
from a cocaine overdose and gasps for breath . . . Welcome to the
ER at Bellevue Hospital, the frontline trenches of medicine where
doctors fight around-the-clock to save lives at a frenetic pace of
quick decisions and real life-and-death drama.
Some three hundred people slam through these hospital doors every
day. Gunshot cops, battered kids, drug addicts, and suicides.
Destitute drunks, bag ladies, AIDS sufferers, and accident victims.
It's a bizarre parade of humanity looking for help in the one place
they know they can find it: the ER.
"Gut-wrenching, heartwarming, and instructive about the exigencies
of this branch of medicine as practiced at this legendary
institution."
