This book follows an experienced emergency physician who has managed to do something very rare in his field: continue to see the humanity in every patient he encounters. Bellevue Hospital in 1980's Manhattan was one of the first major hospitals to see AIDS patients regularly. These patients were treated well in Dr. Lewis Goldfrank's emergency department, along with the mentally ill, destitute, traumatized, and otherwise maimed patients who came through the door. Every patient has a story worth hearing, and every patient is worth hearing about.

This is an excellent book. If this is your genre you will really enjoy it. It not only tells about his day to day life in the emergency room, but also about the different illnesses, accidents, etc that he deals with. I think this is one of the better books I have read on this genre.

This is a very educational book if you are intrested in learning about the ER and how it works. Honestly, I was hoping for more entertainment (kind of like the TV episode "ER," it has drama mixed with the educational medical stuff). I didn't find this book very entertaining, just straight forward educational on medical ER work.

Like reading an episode of ER but with a bit more scientific explanation. It is interesting.

The ER at Bellevue Hospital is the setting for doctors fighting around the clock to save lives learning how to make quick decisions in real life and death drama.

THe nurse in me loved this book. It is a collection of stories from a 1970's ER.
