migdali 's review for:
The Emergency: A Year of Healing and Heartbreak in a Chicago ER
by Thomas Fisher
In this book Fischer recounts his harrowing experiences as a doctor in an emergency room on the South Side of Chicago with an abundance of talent and empathy.
I enjoyed the mix of topics from Chicago history, to pandemic chronicle, to exploring issues of racial inequality and segregation, to medical history.
The author is from Chicago and as a native Chicagoan myself, I felt his love for the city and for the people he serves.
Fisher's voice reminded me of Ta-Nehisi Coates, but with a medical bent.
Highly recommended for fans of quality non-fiction, books about medical history and the American Health Care system, Chicago, racial inequality and personal memoirs.
