I think many times as a society when we think of who we would want to have in the room if we were to have a medical emergency, our brains automatically think “a doctor”. I am here to tell you after years of dealing with chronic illness/disability, that the better answer is nurse! I can’t count how many times they have caught drug interactions, advocated for me, and actually found a solution after the doctor had written it off as no big deal. Also the next time you get upset because you are a hard stick for an iv….whatever you do, DO NOT ask for the doctor to do it(they probably haven’t started an iv in years), who you really want is a NICU nurse!

Thank you so much to @littlebrown @hachetteaudio and @jamespattersonbooks for the gifted review ALC of E.R. Nurses by James Patterson and Matt Everyman. This audiobook has a huge cast of narrators giving individual character and emotion to the stories of some of our most unsung hero’s, nurses. This audiobook is 7hrs and 23 min at regular speed, and is a collection of both heartbreaking and heartwarming stories from the people who save lives daily. This is a unique glimpse into the lives of nurses from all around the country, as they share their experiences and memories with us the readers.

Synopsis from the publisher: Around the clock, across the country, these highly skilled and compassionate men and women sacrifice and struggle for us and our families. You have never heard their true stories. Not like this. From big-city and small-town hospitals. From behind the scenes. From the heart. This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you understand. When we’re at our worst, E.R. nurses are at their best.

Thank you to all the medical professionals that have worked in such heartbreaking and insane conditions throughout the pandemic, but a special thank you to all the nurses❤️
