I finished this book wondering if it was funny and poignant to me because I've been exposed to medical humor all my life. Having read a few snippets of it to friends and such now, I think it's actually just laugh-out-loud funny sometimes. This is a collection edited by Dr. Brown of stories from the ER nurses and Docs around America. Many of them are hilarious, some of them highlight the frustrating powerlessness that doctors are often confronted with, and some are tear-jerkers. Most of them are pretty short - I think the longest one was five or six pages - and written in the very cut-suture-close style that most doctors have, with few frills. It was this very austere style, I think, that made it remarkable those details that they did find salient enough to include. While I've never fallen fully into the idea of doctors as less-than-human [again, they've always been around in my life:], the way these contributors note... age, what their kids look like, the way that spouses/siblings voices sound on the phone, the look in their eyes. The story that stuck with me the most was a fire-medic-cum-triage nurse who got a trauma case out of a car accident who arrived with constant compressions administered. As soon as they stopped compressions, the guy went agonal and died, but when they started compressions again he opened his eyes and was alert and at least semi-aware. He couldn't talk, of course, around the ambu bag, and they couldn't stabilize him as far gone as he was, but everyone in that room had to make the choice to actually stop treating a man who was alive as long as they humped on him, and let him die. The contributor was the man who actually spoke to the guy while someone else did comps and explained it to him. How would you word that? 'we can't save you on a permanent basis, or even stabilize you enough to say goodbye to anyone. as long as we keep working on you, you are technically alive and have brain function, but we're going to stop now. there's no point in it for us.'
