THE DOORS

Published

Specializes in ER / ICU.

Emergency rooms have no windows. They have doors. The pneumatic type, that opens unexpectedly with a hiss. Inside the doors is a family of specially trained people who work, prepare, and wait. They wait to see what the doors will bring. Pain, fear, anguish, irritation, and embarrassment are some of the visitors. They come at any time, with any intensity, in any number. There is no order to their arrival. Those entering all have one thing in common -- they need help from the people inside... The doors take people out. Sometimes the people are relieved and comforted. sometimes they are angry. Sometimes they leave with unknowable grief. Sometimes they leave dead... Survival in this place requires a deep kindness nestled in a very dark sense of humor, and a strong faith tempered with cynicism. The people who work in this place refer to it as "the pit"...

Emergency! True Stories from the Nation's ERs

Long before the hit TV show E.R., emergency room doctor Mark Brown decided that the world just had to know about real life in a hospital's E.R. He canvassed 15,000 doctors and nurses across the country, asking them to contribute the stories, dramas, the ridiculous sagas, and the immensely humorous moments that make up their lives in the war zone, or "pit".
