This doctor has a way with words. He paints vivid images that put you right in his shoes in the ER. You feel his anguish as he tries his best to save a life. You feel his joy as he succeeds.

As a RN working in a community ED the stories in this book hit close to home and depict the thoughts and things we go through on the daily working in a small town ED.

This was a compelling collection of short passages that tell experiences within Trauma Room Two from a variety of perspectives: the doctor, the patient, support staff....
Emotions, not medicine, were the focus of each of the stories, which really helped the reader to connect. While each story was fairly short, there was something challenging about it that made you think about the issue or the perspective presented.

Technically fiction, but reads like non-fiction—it feels true. Short meditations on life and death and dying from someone who’s seen a lot of it.
