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.

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.

I think that the authors of this book really outdid themselves with this one. Having worked in a busy ER for sometime now, it is interesting to hear/see the ideas and beliefs of patients that they have learned my watching medical drama shows like "ER" and such. I wish that hospitals everywhere would buy millions of copies of this book and have them laminated and secured with metal cable to the chairs in the ER waiting area. The authors really "hit the nail on the head" with this piece. It pays omage to the millions of men and women who work their fingers to the bone in the ER's around the world. This book is a must for any students wanting to pursue a career in any field of emergency medicine.

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!

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.
