Hot Summer A Month in the ER is your whirlwind tour through the experience of being an Emergency Room physician through one month in time. This is a play by play, blow by blow, account of the real experiences of front-line emergency medicine in a smaller mid-western city as told by a physician practitioner. Popular media is inundated with flashy and often unrealistic portrayals of the practice of emergency medicine. This work attempts to meet the demand for emergency medicine realism without compromising reality to drama. As a practicing emergency physician, with diverse experiences in a range of emergency medicine settings, the author gives his personal insights and reflection to this demanding topic. He chooses his experiences in a smaller city as it provides a more balanced mix of patients than you get in a regional referral center or a trauma center. In so doing, he captures the flavor of emergency medicine that you would encounter in a majority of the Emergency Departments around the country.
