Solid book for learning Emergency medicine. The case vignettes are very relevant to what you'd see I'm a busy ER

As a retired EMT she does a great job of describing the emotions of a small volunteer squad.  So many of us whether were volunteer or work in a paid service end up divorced because of a jealous spouse it's the most rewarding thing other than being a mother I've ever done.  she describes this well.

I enjoy reading about experiences in the ED. Since it is my line of work, I totally relate to the patients, the docs and nurses and to the nuances.

This is  a book that is very much oriented to the RN that is currently working in the Cath Lab and wants to improve their knowledge.

Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down!  Read it in less than three days.  Wonderful story of Laguna Honda hospital in San Francisco that took care of patient's other hospitals didn't want to spend money on and Victoria Sweet took care of them with coving care and even saved some of them much longer than if left on the street to die.  Made me realize that today's HMO's and hospitals and doctors think it is more important to  make and save money than take care of both the health and souls of patients.

Would recommend to anyone who wants to realize how little our health care system cares about the patients.

By compassionately caring for her patients and listening openly to what they and their families told her she was able to reach an awareness of after life that is both positive and compelling.

Code Black is riveting not to mention one of those ER doctors is my son and that is the first time I have seen him in action ..... Thank God there are brave and intelligent men and women who will do that risky, exhausting doctoring.... It is not glamorous but it is rewarding .... They are making a difference in this world

This is a wonderful insight into the life of a  Doctor who cares so much for his patients .
I liked the part where just doing your best really isn't good enough!
To survive Mortality is to arrive at the end in the most comfortable and meanigful way possible, and we can see how that can be helped greatly with the aid of a good and caring Doctor.
As an added attraction,the author weaves in his exciting and thought provoking experiences serving on a nuclear Submarine as it barely survives near misseis in the metal crushing dark depths of the ocean.
 Lots of real life experiences of this fascinating doctor make for a great read.!

I am amazed  at what is required of one  nurse during  a 12  hour shift in an oncology unit.  They must carefully balance  which patients needs are more urgent at any given moment.  At the same time they must deal with a doctor's medical approach to a patient, especially when they disagree.  Let's not forget the emotional needs of patients.  I think 12 hour shifts put too much strain on the nurse.  It also seems that they do not always get the credit they deserve.  This book brought to light how difficult it must be to balance life changing decisions during a 12 hour shift.

The Doctor's Defender by Terri Reed
Protection Specialists Series Book 3
Dr Brenda Storm has a pretty routine life as a workaholic surgeon. One day everything changes when some cupcakes arrive for her. Suddenly people around her are dying, instead of her. As a treasured surgeon her boss hires protection for her from Trent Associates and her world tips all the way upside down when her new bodyguard enters her life. Now that she's facing death....Brenda realizes for the first time that she hasn't been living....and that she wants to.

Kyle Martin is good at what he does. It keeps him busy and away from commitments but something about his new protectee has him wanting to slow down and enjoy her. He has to remind himself he does not want to settle down and more importantly....there is a killer out there and he has to focus on keeping the beautiful doctor alive and not on kissing her.

This was a book I didn't want to put down. The characters are kept busy dodging bullets and trying to escape their unknown assailant. They are also busy trying to avoid cupids arrows. Kyle has God through all of this but Brenda is more of the scientific mind....if I can see it I'll believe. Nothing like running for your life and worrying about what's going on with your parents to see your need for God.

Fifty Shades of Grey meets Grey's Anatomy minus the kink.  Chase Colton is a drool worthy, profoundly dominant neurosurgeon who sets his sights on case manager, Lili Porter, while she is on his rotation and the two forge an intense bond both in the operating room and the on call rooms.

Truth.  Its Lili and Chases mantra throughout the story. Truthfor some reason this book was hard to really get into.  TruthI was at least halfway through the book before I felt fully engaged and invested in the story and characters.  Truththere were quite a few times were I felt the story seemed to drag and thought that the narrative was a little drawn out and could be a bit more concise so that there was a better flow.  Truthonce mysteries were revealed and we were able to finally see into Lili and Chase, I was completely absorbed and made a strong connection with both of the characters and their plight.

Sexy surgeons aside, this story is about two people with some pretty serious trauma in their pasts who have been struggling to just merely exist by, as Lili terms it, sleep running through life.  Each finds in the other just what they need to wake them up and truly experience life, love and happiness.  This is a touching story of learning to overcome and to forgive yourself.  The metamorphosis in the characters from the beginning of the story to the end as you watch each of their walls crumble while learning to trust and love another person is moving and wonderful.  Once Chase opens up he is quite the irresistible charmer and the relationship truly brings out the best in both characters.

Overall this was an extremely interesting, intense drama with a complicated and heavy back story that once revealed is hard to put down.  Lilis bold, pull no punches best friend as well as the cute and clever doctor nicknames the two come up with for Chase, reminiscent of a certain McDreamy, brings much needed humor and lightness to the more serious issues in their pasts making for an enjoyable well rounded read.

What a fantastic book! I had such a hard time putting the book down to do such insignificant things like sleep, go to work.
Aspen loses her fiance shortly before their wedding. Years later she's still hiding from emotion and protecting her heart when she meets Anderson. Their relationship builds as she learns to let him in and he does the same. I also loved Aspen's relationships with her two friends. And then Sophia, Anderson's mother. What a fantastic lady.
I will definitely be rereading this book.
