Superb, required reading for every Emergency Physician, and anyone who bestrides the primary care-Secondary care interface. Excellent, informative, entertaining, and understanding of all aspects of physcian care, including time pressures ( ) Fortunately, I have spent very little time in emergency departments in my lifetime. The last time it was for six hours while my wife & I waited to have her sprained ankle diagnosed. By reading Goldman's book, one should come to understand why those waits occur and what a good emergency department does to try and reduce them. Goldman fills his description of the life of an emergency physician with many anecdotes of cases he and fellow doctors have experienced in the ER department. Some are sad, some pathetic and many are humourous. The reader does learn a great deal about medical procedures and how new technology is making hospitals and medical procedures safer. Finally, I found this to be a real page turner. Goldman's experience as a print and radio journalist does him in good stead here. Brian Goldman takes us through a typical night shift as an emergency room physician, with interesting cases and inside information on how he copes through the shift. His honesty and humanity shine through in this book. I have listened to Brian Goldman for years on CBC radio, with his program White Coat, Black Art, as he tackles problems and concerns in medicine. Highly recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In The Night Shift, Dr. Brian Goldman shares his experiences in the witching hours at Mount Sinai Hospital in downtown Toronto. We meet the kinds of patients who walk into an E.R. after midnight: late-night revellers injured on their way home after last call, teens assaulted in the streets by other teens and a woman who punches another woman out of jealousy over a man. But Goldman also reveals the emotional, heartbreaking side of everyday E.R. visits: adult children forced to make life and death decisions about critically ill parents, victims of sexual assault, and mentally ill and homeless patients looking for understanding and a quick fix in the twenty-four-hour waiting room. Written with Goldman's trademark honesty and with surprising humour, The Night Shift is also a frank look at many issues facing the medical profession today, and it offers a highly compelling inside view into an often shrouded world.
