Trauma Room Two

De: Philip Allen Green MD

Narrado por: David de Vries

In every hospital emergency department there is a room reserved for trauma. It is a place where life and death are separated by the thinnest of margins. A place where some families celebrate the most improbable of victories while others face the most devastating of losses. A place where what matters the most in this life is revealed.

Trauma Room Two is just such a place.

In this collection of short stories, Dr. Green takes the listener inside the hidden emotional landscape of emergency medicine. Based on 15 years of experience as an ER physician, he reveals the profound moments that often occur in emergency rooms for patients, their families, and the staff that work there.

Humanizes medical professionals

As a provider, I really appreciated this book to bring a person behind the name tag

Pleasantly surprised

I didn’t expect this to be as personal as it was, very touching and the ending was lovely

ER stories

As a physician I enjoyed this collection of stories by an ER doc on the edge of burnout. A good storyteller. The narrator captured the prose well. Would listen to another book ny this author.

stories of ER doc

Room number 9 about ghoust faces - no more psychiatric patients to that room. Wondered if it happened for real. The life of ER doctor somewhere in Wyoming.

worth reading

You have to read the whole book in order to appreciate it. I will probably read it again.

Write some more!

I am a retired X-Ray tech. I loved this book and the next one, People of the ER. I read them one right after the other and listened on Audible when I could not have a book in my hand. Each book took me back to an ER In my mind, I was standing in the door of one of many ER’s (we traveled with the military, so I worked at several hospitals), listening and watching, waiting for my turn to wheel an oversized portable x-ray machine in the fray to grab that chest film or that cross-table broken extremity. When I finished the books, I said out loud, “Write some more, Dr. Green!

ER nurse gives it two thumbs up

Surprising, authentic, and heartfelt. Cried more than a few times and we all know ER nurses are dead inside. 😂

Wonderful book

The author’s stories are tender, funny, heartbreaking, or sometimes all three. I highly recommend to anyone who likes medical stories!

Interesting

Dr. Green takes some liberties filling in the blanks of what his trauma patients may have been seeing, hearing, touching, thinking at the time of their experience inside Trauma Room Two. The liberties make for a better reading experience though.

great book

As an er rn I can relate to all the stories. I've seen things I too do not wish to see again. I too get haunted by b past patients. I find myself wondering at times how they came to be. Thank you for your words. Beautifully written.
