Standing in the trauma room of an emergency department is like standing at ground zero of a nuclear reaction, only it's not radiation that is released - but stories. Stories that are told and retold, sometimes just until the end of the shift, but sometimes for decades.

A survivor of domestic violence makes it to the hospital but cannot trust anyone. An anonymous man passes away after being taken to the emergency room, and no one can identify him. The spouse of a cancer patient must decide whether to force her to undergo chemotherapy or to let her pass away in peace.

These stories - and all the rest in People of the ER - grapple with what it means to be human in the face of trauma and death.

Written by the author of Trauma Room Two, People of the ER delves deeper into the lives of the patients and staff that work in a small, rural emergency room.

Some very memorable stories here. I read this in an attempt to get inside the mind of someone I know, who works in a hospital. Not only did it help with that, but it had a few pretty nice illustrations of how to reframe trauma, so as to be able to move forward.

Great read

Written by a true humanitarian who has a remarkable ability to peer deeply into the depth of grief, trauma, loss, and what it means to be a human being as witness to others and their time of greatest need as they arrive in the emergency department after life-changing events have occurred. The title does not do it justice and as much more then life in the emergency department.

deeply moving and insightful

After years in medicine, I thought I’d become hardened to it all. Nothing touched me anymore. Enter Dr Green stage left. This book realigned all I’d come to believe about medicine, emergencies and people. But this author manages to do so with the warmth of a kind mentor, a friend, a confidant that won’t tell everyone about you laughing, crying and yelling at every chapter. Well done, Doc. Well done.

Stories about hospitals always capture my attention.. being one of the people who rarely step out of the hospital, it is easy the forget for every patient there is a story and for every person there is story
