I got these books at a rummage sale as part of a box lot, so I didn't know that they were necessarily teen fiction, but I like books about medicine and they're quick reads that I can pick up and put down as needed.
In high school, I was a volunteer at a hospital, but mine was nothing like the one where these teens volunteer. Apparently, the ER where they work always treats traumas and other high-intensity, high-emotion patients and volunteers are allowed to do a lot more than I would imagine teens in our ER would be allowed to do.
That said, this book touches on important teen issues like drunk driving and the consequences, class struggles between urban and suburban teens, and maturing in the face of a scary, new experience.
Probably a good read for teens, but a bit unrealistic for my tastes.
