Book Synopsis Something for the Pain: One Doctor's Account of Life and Death in the ER by : Paul Austin
Book excerpt: "A stunning account of the chaos of the emergency room." —Boston Globe In this eye-opening account of life in the ER, Paul Austin recalls how the daily grind of long, erratic shifts and endless hordes of patients with sad stories sent him down a path of bitterness and cynicism. Gritty, powerful, and ultimately redemptive, Something for the Pain is a revealing glimpse into the fragility of compassion and sanity in the industrial setting of today’s hospitals.
