Book excerpt: Lewis, once an assistant to Studs Terkel, brings both the master's interviewing skills and his compassion to bear on the frontline trenches of American medicine, the continually embattled Cook County Hospital of Chicago, the hospital upon which the smash TV hit "ER" is said to be loosely based. Her interviews with the widest possible range of people involved in running the hospital--from a former director to an elevator operator and a security guard--elicit fascinating stories and frank assessments of the American medical system in general and "County" in particular.

Book excerpt: The amazing tale of “County” is the story of one of America’s oldest and most unusual urban hospitals. From its inception as a “poor house” dispensing free medical care to indigents, Chicago’s Cook County Hospital has been renowned as a teaching hospital and the healthcare provider of last resort for the city’s uninsured. Ansell covers more than thirty years of its history, beginning in the late 1970s when the author began his internship, to the “Final Rounds” when the enormous iconic Victorian hospital building was replaced. Ansell writes of the hundreds of doctors who underwent rigorous training with him. He writes of politics, from contentious union strikes to battles against “patient dumping,” and public health, depicting the AIDS crisis and the Out of Printening of County’s HIV/AIDS clinic, the first in the city. And finally it is a coming-of-age story for a young doctor set against a backdrOut of Print of race, segregation, and poverty. This is a riveting account.

Book excerpt: An inside look at one of the nation's most famous public hospitals, Cook County, as seen through the eyes of its longtime Director of Intensive Care, Dr. Cory Franklin.
