Summary:
"In the tradition of books by such bestselling physician-authors as Atul Gawande, Siddhartha Mukherjee, and Danielle Ofri, this beautifully written memoir by an emergency room doctor revolves around one of his routine shifts at an urban ER. Intimately narrated as it follows the experiences of real patients, it is filled with fascinating, adrenaline-pumping scenes of rescues and deaths, and the critical, often excruciating follow-through in caring for patients’ families. Centered on the riveting story of a seemingly healthy forty-three-year-old woman who arrives in the ER in sudden cardiac arrest, 'Code Gray' weaves in stories that explore everything from the early days of the Covid outbreak to the perennial glaring inequities of our healthcare system. It offers an unforgettable portrait of challenges so profound, powerful, and extreme that normal ethical and medical frameworks prove inadequate. Invited to experience what it is like to work a shift in the ER from the perspective of a physician, we are forced to test our core beliefs and principles. Often, there are no clear answers to these challenges that arise in the ER. We are left feeling unsettled, but through this process, we can appreciate just how complicated, emotional, unpredictable - and yet strikingly beautiful life can be."--Jacket.
