What forms the perceptions of a nurse in the emergency room
regarding a particular patient? In this book the memorable patients
are not chosen by the "emergency" that brought them in for medical
care, but for who they are, how they present themselves, and what
they say. As you read each of the 202 cases presented, you will
meet these diverse people face to face. You will learn who they
are. Whether it is the young girl who thinks she is about to die,
or the man who is actually dying, the things they do and say are
what make a story to be told. You will meet the couple from the
back hills who reminds everyone of the Hillbilly's show, and the
elegant lady who strips to the waist and asks for the medicine that
"stops my heart." Some of the people have a heartbreaking story,
and others are comical- like the injured young boy volunteering to
do the cutting of a stallion to make it a gelding. Some of the
patients are brave, and others are scared like the man whose
girlfriend fired a shotgun into his groin. You will fall in love
with the sweet elderly lady who was embarrassed to have
constipation, but proved she could make bold comments in the end.
To quote Dr Ashley in the book endorsement after she studied each
case for medical accuracy, she wrote: "Although concise, each story
has a nice balance of medical accuracy and character that is easy
to follow for those readers who have never worked in the medical
field. Because the stories are told from a personal perspective
rather than focusing on medical jargon, the reader sees the ER from
a softer side where some important and often funny life lessons
come to life. There is plenty of entertainment for everyone with
each chapter containing excitement, comedy, and heart- warming
scenarios; this book makes a great conversation piece for any
household. Once the reader experiences one story there is a desire
to read more and move on to the next case as there is always
something new ahead."
