Something for the Pain: One Doctor's Account of Life and Death in the ER
of Paul Austin (Goodreads Author)
Description
"It turns out there are all kinds of things about working in an ER that most of us haven't learned from TV or having sat in one. In Something for the Pain, Paul Austinâthe ER doc you'd hope to get if something really bad happenedâtells us, vividly and with uncommon candor, how, if you aren't careful, saving people's lives can make you sick."âTed Conover, author of NewjackIn 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. His own life becomes Exhibit A, as he details the emotional detachment that estranges him from himself and his family. Gritty, powerful, and ultimately redemptive, Austin's memoir is a revealing glimpse into the fragility of compassion and sanity in the industrial setting of today's hospitals.
