Crash: Stories From the Emergency Room
Stories From the Emergency Room is a gripping anthology series that takes readers inside the hectic world of emergency room medicine through the eyes of different doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and paramedics. Each book contains a collection of stories told from their unique perspectives as they cope with the controlled chaos and high stakes of trying to save lives.
The stories range from high-adrenaline rescues following accidents and disasters to quieter but equally emotional moments dealing with terminal illness and end-of-life care. While some recount dramatic cases that pushed the limits of training and instinct, others focus on the smaller human moments and connections that get lost in the commotion.
Stories From the Emergency Room gives an unfiltered look at the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll of work in the ER, but also the immense satisfaction that comes with comforting patients in their darkest hours and saving lives teetering on the brink. Through unflinching and nuanced storytelling, the series examines broader themes of life, death, and what it means to care for our fellow human beings when they need it most.

ER.
Although there some interesting stories of trauma and the ER protocols I found that more than a few of these were too wordy. I want to read what happened, how patients are treated and the results without so much praise of workers. That is hugely important but I want to read mostly about the patients.
