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

4.0

Although this was written during the COVID pandemic by an ER physician at University of Chicago’s Southside hospital, it isn’t about the pandemic. The book is primarily about the inequities of health and healthcare between Chicago’s Black Southside and areas north, white, and of greater wealth. The book relates the insights of an ER doctor and of his frustrations to give good care within the healthcare system. This book was full of important information, but the audiobook may have been better served by a professional reader, rather than the author. Still, a worthwhile listen/read.
