I loved the book, but highly dislike mechanical robot voice of a computer reading this book. Give us live people to read people’s stories!

If you like medical dramas, this is a good one! The stories that this ER doctor lives through are intriguing! He does a good of being compassionate. If I were in the midst of a medical crisis, I’d want him to be my physician!

I love medical thrillers and tv shows so this was a no-brainer to listen to next. I especially liked that the author was an E.R. Physician with experiences that are not like what's seen on tv or movies at all. It gives a new perspective. His accounts of pain medicine seeking patients was a little offensive to me as a chronic pain patient. I wish they did have a Pain Meter to prove I'm no.addict and the addiction rates have made it extremely difficult for me to get effective medication. I have never gone to the E.R. for pain, even with radiculopathy that was severely painful from my neck to my fingertips. I just had neurosurgery to remove the bone trapping a nerve root after 2 years of many doctors acting like I was an addict. But I understand the view. An MRI showing severe nerve root entrapment was not even enough for meds for me for the first year. I finally saw a neurosurgeon and got pain meds. I do appreciate him explaining that nuance and the effects addiction can have in an overrun ER. That's why I never went. I just suffered. Toradol at tje doctor office didn't do anything for the pain for now than 15 minutes unfortunately. The author was spot on with his statement about rating pain an 8 so it doesn't seem like we're seeking meds when we are seeking relief. I have to say the AI narration annoyed me some. I know it's just me being persnickety but the repeated mispronunciation of Versed (ver-sed) as one syllable "versed", and leads as "leds", O.R. becoming "or", etc. detracted from the enjoyment. This audiobook would be amazing with an actual narrator. Wonderful inside look at the life on a small ER doc, I appreciated it.

Great Story and Experiences. Bad narration.

truthfulness and accuracy of the doctor's job. Learning the components of doctor's job skills is interesting.

It was a decent book overall. However, I found the author/doctor to be insensitive at parts and quite arrogant.

Sounds better than you would think. Struggles with some acronyms though. The story is interesting too.

The AI is actually pretty good

Engaging book

Almost unbearable finishing this book due to the AI voice reading. Please stick to humans reading audio books.

Horrible AI voice reading

First of all, if you are going to have a book about an emergency department, and you are going to have an AI narrated, you should teach it to say E. D. Instead of pronouncing it like the name Ed. You should be sure that it is pronouncing medical terminology correctly, because not doing so is incredibly distracting. So that’s just the service level stuff.

No to get into the story, the author/main character/narrator quickly shows himself to be fat phobic, misogynistic, anti-abortion, anti-poor, and with a terrible grasp on mental health issues. He judges his patient, at one point has to summon all of his professional strength, not to look at the breasts of a beautiful patient, and in general shows himself to be a real ass.

I was hoping for something that would satisfy my desire for a book that reminded me of Grey’s Anatomy or ER. This most certainly wasn’t it.

AI narrator and prejudices galore!
