About this title

Synopsis

This book could save your life! If you've ever wondered what it's like working at a hospital Level 1 trauma center this book offers unfiltered true stories which occurred during a surgeon's first year of training. The book offers insight into 21st century modern healthcare and the state of society. You will laugh, cry, and question your beliefs about the healthcare system and patients. Read this before you go to the doctor next and share this information with your family. Throughout the United States stories like these are unfolding each day as you witness the stress of physician training and the ups and downs of the physician's and patient's lives. Dr. Brandon Green is a pseudonym, or pen name, for author who wishes to remain anonymous. He is an Attending Surgeon at an inner-city Level 1 Trauma Center. The short stories are real occurrences that happened to the three interns in one residency year. The names and locations have been changed to provide privacy protection and follow HIPPA guidelines. The author recommends healthcare workers process what they are experiencing by discussing their own stories from behind the scenes, as these are likely happening at all hospitals throughout the country. This is a work of sociology, psychology, medicine, surgery, dealing with the public, putting others in front of yourself, and self-reflective learning. Thank you for taking the time to read and understand what’s happening in modern society and healthcare training.
