DESCRIPTION:
'But I Came by Ambulance!' is a perfect read for a lazy afternoon, when you're stuck inside due to the weather, or when you're in between caring for the same types of patients described within these pages.. Some of the stories recounted are filled with crippling grief, can offer a glimpse of the fear ER workers feel, and detail that sometimes nurses and doctors simply can't win against the power fighting against them. This collection of stories recalls outrageous tales of criminals running from the police, patients arriving in the ER with one foot over the threshold of death's door, stupid ways patients have injured themselves, and a variety of recollections of patients penetrating themselves with household objects. Back for the fourth time, a registration clerk for a small-town hospital in Ohio recounts stories from emergency room happenings. But not every case is funny
TED ADAMS said Wonderful book on the way an ER works.. This is a very interesting book on stories from the ER. They show the craziness of being in an ER and what the medical personnel have to put up with. People from chronic moochers to emergency situations. This is a good book to read and be aware of what many times happens in the ER and why sometimes things take a bit longer than we would l. Not a nice person to be working with people in need. Amazon Customer I bought a series of books from this author. I must say, although many of the stories are interesting, I'll never look at the ER in the same way after reading them. The author appears to view patients very negatively and seems to be nasty with quite a lot of them. I don't find her humor funny and I think she should find different work if . Great Book on ER Events James D. Turner I thoroughly enjoyed the book. As an EMT I have seen some different things but to experience it from the Emergency Department side gave some things a different lenses for them to be seen through. Very well written and easy to read as it flows well from story to story.
