Welcome to Litsy!

This was a really intense, quick read. Each story is different, and you never know what‘s coming next. Nurses and other medical staff are often unappreciated. Their jobs are really hard and require tons of emotional labor. These stories are horrific, sad, ridiculous at times, and even funny. I can‘t tell you how many times I literally gasped out loud at some of the things I read. This book makes you appreciate your health, abled-body, and ⬇️

I wish people who came into the ER would understand that if we don‘t get to you right away, it means you‘re stable, that there‘s someone who is sicker than you. If you‘re waiting, that‘s a good thing. It‘s when we all rush in and jump on you that you should worry. Although nurses are busy, we‘re doing the best we can—always trying to do more with less.

I about 40 pages in on this one

It‘s an ok book if you‘re a nurse not phenomenal…. Been there done that worker floors er icu etc I could have written this …. Disappointed 2022.

I just started this book and it‘s good so far. I like that it‘s broken down into different nurses stories, it‘s actually helping with my depression because I don‘t have to read the entire book, I can read one chapter at a time and have the whole story for that person, so I can read a little when I feel up to it and not be upset that my depression is making it hard to even read.

First book of 2022 and this was an excellent one to start with. As a nurse of almost 17 years and 12 of those being in the Er, this book definitely hit home for me. I laughed, I cried, and related so much to others who shared their stories. For anyone that is a nurse or in the healthcare profession this is a must read. It allows others to see what truly goes on beyond the public eye and why we love and are passionate for what we do👩🏼‍⚕️😷🏥🩺⚕️
