In a busy urban Emergency Department the staff must balance their professional lives with their own personal and family struggles. This book contains interconnected short stories in which the doctors, nurses and other staff members attempt to keep separate these two spheres of their lives, for to allow them to overlap would make their lives even more difficult. Pain, tragedy, humor and compassion fill these pages as events unfold and the characters struggle to maintain equilibrium; the author is a retired ER nurse, and these stories are all based on real people and incidents.

Engaging, thought-provoking, true to life. Especially enjoyed the last story - a great telling of how fates intertwine. I wish there was more! Will definitely read again.

This book consists of short chapters telling about various stories about the patients,. families and ER personalities. They all tell stories about how it really is in a large busy WE. All except for the final chapter which although interesting has no connection to medicine or other stories in this book.

Two desperate children was well done.

This was a good book, up until the last and longest story which had little to do with nursing, and more with sailing the Caribbean and social change for the races there. I did enjoy it, just not what I expected.

While I enjoyed the story at the end, I did not see the relevance to the title. I expected more dialogue about the patients and their ailments in this book.

Well! I thought it would be “Tales of the ER”, and what I got was a beautiful collection of linked short stories (not a format I usually enjoy) that were compelling and informative. In this case, fiction was a better read than the usual gross or funny recollections of any ER denizen.
