Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A New York Times Notable Book “Riveting, heartbreaking, sometimes difficult, always inspiring.” —The New York Times Book Review “An incredibly moving memoir about what it means to be a doctor.” —Ellen Pompeo As seen/heard on Fresh Air, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, NBC Nightly News, MSNBC, Weekend Edition, and more An emergency room physician explores how a life of service to others taught her how to heal herself. Michele Harper is a female, African American emergency room physician in a profession that is overwhelmingly male and white. Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia, when he told her he couldn’t move with her. Her marriage at an end, Harper began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman. In the ensuing years, as Harper learned to become an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken—physically, emotionally, psychically. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process. The Beauty in Breaking is the poignant true story of Harper’s journey toward self-healing. Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. How to let go of fear even when the future is murky: How to tell the truth when it’s simpler to overlook it. How to understand that compassion isn’t the same as justice. As she shines a light on the systemic disenfranchisement of the patients she treats as they struggle to maintain their health and dignity, Harper comes to understand the importance of allowing ourselves to make peace with the past as we draw support from the present. In this hopeful, moving, and beautiful book, she passes along the precious, necessary lessons that she has learned as a daughter, a woman, and a physician.

Download or read book Hot Summer Nights written by Dr. S and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hot Summer Nights: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Wilson had just graduated from high school and was waiting to enter the University of Texas and become a lawyer. He was an honor student; literate but he lacked athletic and social skills. He lived in the shadow of his mother and was never quite allowed to develop like a normal boy. In the course of summer, David met a nigrah boy who worked in the grocery store down the block. Toye Lee Johnson was a year younger than David and was waiting for the day he turned 18 so he could join the army his sole plan. He had no interest in school nor graduating, but he was the embodiment of a perfect athlete. He was very familiar with the worldly ways of life and had a great deal of common sense, something David lacked. Not two humans were as different as the two. During the course of summer, the two boys who met daily at the trash bin, got to know each other, and decided to do things that the other boy had never done. This was against the code of the community, which absolutely prohibited whites and nigrahs from associating with each other in social matters unless the coloreds remained in their "place. Consequently, any kind of activity that the boys participated in had to be done in secret and often at night when they would not be seen together. The summer activities were a revelation to both boys and each was exposed to things he had never known, all these without their secret being discovered. All went well until the week before David left for Austin, and Toye Lee returned for his senior year. The event that happened that week changed the course of their lives and force David to make decisions, which would affect him for the rest of his life. It was a decision in which he consulted three people who had the most influence on his life. But in the end it was a decision only he could make. Then again, the question would always be: Did I make the right decision?

Mothers and daughters, sisters and cousins, they lived for summers at the lake house until a tragic accident changed everything. The Summer That Made Us is an unforgettable story about a family learning to accept the past, to forgive and to love each other again. That was then… For the Hempsteads, two sisters who married two brothers and had three daughters each, summers were idyllic. The women would escape the city the moment school was out to gather at the family house on Lake Waseka. The lake was a magical place, a haven where they were happy and carefree. All of their problems drifted away as the days passed in sun-dappled contentment. Until the summer that changed everything. This is now… After an accidental drowning turned the lake house into a site of tragedy and grief, it was closed up. For good. Torn apart, none of the Hempstead women speak of what happened that summer, and relationships between them are uneasy at best to hurtful at worst. But in the face of new challenges, one woman is determined to draw her family together again, and the only way that can happen is to return to the lake and face the truth. Robyn Carr has crafted a beautifully woven story about the complexities of family dynamics and the value of strong female relationships.
