You Went to Emergency for What? (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

When paramedic Tim Booth ends up rushing a patient's dead cat to a human hospital's Emergency Department for resuscitation, he can't help wondering where his career took a wrong turn.

From bedroom mishaps and hypochondriacs to mysterious rashes and freak cattle incidents, the doctors, nurses, and paramedics in our EDs have seen it all. Every day, Tim and his colleagues grapple with burnout, an overstretched healthcare system, and compassion fatigue--fueled mostly by caffeine, dark humor, and a stubborn drive to save lives. But the Hollywood-style hero moments are rare as they wade through the chaotic, absurd, and often downright ridiculous realities of emergency medicine.

Written like a night shift in the ED--dark, unpredictable, and guaranteed to make you question humanity's collective IQ--You Went to Emergency for What? reveals the weirdest, funniest, and most heart-wrenching true stories from inside our hospitals.
