The House of Hope and Fear: Life in a Big City Hospital by Audrey Young

3.0

In a first-person narrative, Dr. Audrey Young shares her experiences working at Harborview Medical Center, the only public, not-for-profit hospital in Seattle, Washington. The result is a timely and compelling portrait of the current health care crisis. Young’s narrative centers around interactions with patients and the day-to-day operations of a busy county hospital. This title is especially recommended for students who are considering a career in a public hospital. An appendix provides further resources and information on how to advocate for health care reform.
