The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER by Thomas Fisher
4.0
Powerful book. So many reactions to it. This is more than “a year in a chicago ER”. It’s a thoughtful and critical indictment of our healthcare system told through intimate stories and insights learned. It’s strange how long ago and unfamiliar early COVID now seems but the bigger and important stories about health inequity are stomach-churning.
Even more infuriating reading this juxtaposed to articles about NYU hospital and their preferential treatment as well as other non-profits expanding in affluent areas and leaving poorer areas unserved.
