The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER by Thomas Fisher

5.0

A lovely little last minute find at the library I was immediately drawn to this book. It’s definitely something that pulls to anyone who works in healthcare; especially these past few years and especially if you specialize in Emergency Medicine. A constant feeling of never being able to do enough for your patients trails behind you for far longer than Covid 19 has been in the conversation. The style of this book was easy and comforting. To put the history of healthcare in this country that he was able to in the form of letters to patients was a smart idea and made it easier to digest.
