Something for the Pain: Compassion and Burnout in
the ER by Paul Austin
An ER doctor's memoir describes the psychological impact of
his profession, explaining how his daily exposure to critical illness, injury,
and tragedy in the industrial setting of a modern hospital rendered him bitter
and estranged from his family.
So real. This book is the best medical book I've ever read. -
DC 5 stars
Eli the Good by Silas House
In the summer of 1976, ten-year-old Eli Book's excitement over
Bicentennial celebrations is tempered by his father's flashbacks to the Vietnam
War and other family problems, as well as concern about his tough but troubled
best friend, Edie.
Very detailed and beautifully written. It feels very
autobiographical. - MD 5 stars
Heartwood by Amity Gaige
Heartwood takes you on a journey as a search and rescue team
races against time when an experienced hiker mysteriously disappears on the
Appalachian Trail in Maine.
It is dramatic and cinematic with a cliffhanger ending. - AH 5
