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

4.0

Very good and interesting. A little repetitious at times. An in depth look at how the broad scope of racism in USA is a major factor in low quality medical treatment for poor and BIPOC people. This is the main point of the book written by an emergency room black doctor who grew up in south side Chicago and is practicing emergency medicine there with a lifelong goal of solving inequity in medical care. It's eye opening but is delivered with warmth and compassion.
