"A stunning account of the chaos of the emergency room." ―Boston Globe
In this riveting memoir, an ER doctor reveals how his high-stress career of helping others led to a struggle to save himself.
In 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. Gritty, powerful, and ultimately redemptive, Something for the Pain is a revealing glimpse into the fragility of compassion and sanity in the industrial setting of today’s hospitals.
