After reading the introduction, which Dr. McAnonymous tells you not to skip, I wasn't sure if I really believed the author was telling me to not read this book by saying that medical students might find it interesting, but won't help them pass tests, nurses won't find it good because they're too hardcore, and that normies won't like it because it is SAD SOMETIMES. So, ignoring that, I moved onto chapter 1, which started out by making sure I didn't skip the introduction because it was, and I'm paraphrasing a bit 'the best part of the book'.
If 5 pages dedicated to a ramble about how he changed minor details for privacy reasons (which, PLEASE, almost every single "real story/account" books do from medical to journalism) and another 5 pages literally telling the reader not to read his book, is what you consider "best" then... ok. You win, elusive Dr. McAnonymous. I will take your advice.
I'm DNFing out of spite.

The book was entertaining. I listened to the audiobook and while most of the time the narrator was good, he was really condescending when reading dialogue.

I enjoyed this, but the execution was vanilla. The author’s editor needed to do a little more work on the organization of the book.

This was good, and definitely worth reading, but I’m guessing it’s self published (?). The writing is a little disjointed.

The last few years in healthcare have been unlike anything we have ever seen before. This book is a small glimpse of humor and lightness that has been missing in the profession. As a nurse practitioner I have seen some crazy things in the past 20 years but the author really puts into words all those things those things that we need to get out into the world. I highly recommend for anyone in the medical community. Especially those who work in the ED or critical care.

Its so good its detailed at times but it really does seem like this is coming from a person who has seen it all.
