Publisher's summary
Twenty-five years in the ER could become a résumé for despair, but for best-selling author Dr. Robert D. Lesslie, it's a foundation for inspiring stories of everyday angels - friends, nurses, doctors, patients, and even strangers who offer love, help, and support in the midst of trouble.
The ER is a difficult and challenging place to be. Yet the same pressures and stresses that make this place so challenging also provide an opportunity to experience some of life's greatest wonders and mysteries. Dr. Lesslie illuminates messages of hope while sharing fast-paced, captivating stories about discovering lessons from the ER frontline, watching everyday miracles unfold, holding on to faith during tragedy and triumph, and embracing the healing balm of hope.
For anyone who enjoys true stories of the wonders of the human spirit, this immensely popular book is a reminder of the power of angels.

For a pediatric neurosurgeon working in the medical minefield of the brain—in which a single millimeter in every direction governs something that makes us essentially human—every day presents the challenge, and the opportunity, to give a new lease on life to a child for whom nothing is yet fully determined and all possibilities still exist.

Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This audio is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form, but as it actually is - complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad.

In her former career as an English professor, Theresa Brown had been shielded from the harsh reality of death. That all changed the day she decided to become an oncology nurse. In Critical Care, Theresa writes powerfully and honestly about her first year on the hospital floor. With great compassion and a disarming sense of humor, she shares the trials and triumphs of her patients and comes to realize that caring for a patient means much more than simply treating a disease.

Inspiration on the go
I loved listening to this in the car. The stories painted heartfelt pictures of patient and medical staff interactions. I enjoyed the faith filled moments. I do have to say I was surprised that the narrator was a hired reader. I thought perhaps it was Dr. Lesslie himself. I found the reading a little bit too over enunciated and somewhat stilted. It wasn’t bad, it just really wasn’t natural. For example, every time there was an abbreviation such as “ER” the narrator read the letters so slowly and clearly it was as if he thought they might be misconstrued—like a term from a foreign language. Some of the poignant and moving moments were also read without as much emotional nuance as expected. And so, I would say an enjoyable text, but marred a bit by a less than practiced reader.

Interesting tales from the ER. As a 15 year volunteer EMT I found these stories to be interesting as our task with patients ends in the ER so this is the next step of the patients' journey. Scripture reference was an added bonus.
