how we almost die..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
this is such a great book it explains all of the medical procedures we see on ER. It takes a scene of Er and explains what would happen if ER was real. From reading the book i learned, all of the prices of the medical procedures, what a medical student does,all of the things a doctor does(resident, intern etc)bottom line: This is a great book even if you have never seen the show and want to learn about medicine...plus its and easy read.
Great book

If you like the show ER, you'll like this book especially if you're interested in th technical aspects of it. The way the book combines the show "ER" with reality is great. The characters in ER pertained to when the book was written so it's like the season 2 cast I believe. Anyway, it's a great book that is definitely worth reading. I read it last year (I was 13) and it gave me a great insight into the reality of an ER and how TV isn't always true.
Incredible Book

I loved this book! I'm a die-hard ER fan, and I just wish that I'd found it sooner. It explains almost everything medical on ER from what a resident does to what the heck a crit is! Now I know what's happening on my favourite show!
This is a very informative book!

If you have ever wondered what all of that medical jargon meant when you watched ER, this is the book for you!! It tells what everythting means. It even gives episode summaries of the shows most gripping episodes, and then tells the medical procedures that were done on that episode, and how they were performed. In my opinion, this is the best ER book out there.
Good, and fun, information!

This book was fun to read; A book about medicine has never been so readable! You don't have to be a doctor or a fan of the show to enjoy all the information about what would happen if you, or a loved one, ends up in the emergency room
