ER physician who finds meaning in her hardships.

Appreciated her perspective as a female and person of color in medicine.

It's her personal story, but I didn't appreciate her portrayal of the medical system, and how it's always profit driven and administration is awful.

my doctor dreams are so alive :)

This was an easy read. I love that it highlighted the problems and injustices in the healthcare system but I wish that it discussed them even more deeply. I love our badass black doctor and her beautiful perspective in life but there were times that the memoir was too preachy. Nevertheless, I love that I found myself relating to many of her stories, feelings, and realizations.

I couldn’t put this book down. It was interesting and takes from the ER were also interesting. I love that she found a story in every single one of those patients.
