This was a random read that I came across in my search for something else. Quick read - real life stories from the medical world and testimonies from those working the front lines.

While I don’t usually rate non-fiction books, just know this one deserves all the stars.
I’m a sucker for a good James Patterson book and this was no different. I love his non-fiction work just as much as his thrillers. This book tells the many stories of ER nurses across the US, both in major hospitals and small towns. Each chapter is a different nurse telling a story or two about a shift they had. I would have preferred this to be told from less people, so that we could stick with each individual more and hear about the different experiences they may have witnessed. However I still enjoyed this immensely. Some stories were heartbreaking, others were heartwarming. Some were disgusting and some were hilarious. I really enjoyed immersing myself into the life of an ER Nurse yet I know this book still won’t even come close to the real deal. At the end of the day, nurses are the most unappreciated heroes of this world.
