Free eBooks The Rants, Raves And Crazy Days Of An ER Nurse: Funny, True Life Stories Of Medical Humor From The Emergency Room Available To Downloads
Get your scrubs on and don't forget your stethoscope. Welcome to the ER. This book is not about life and death struggles. This book is the polar opposite. It is about the absolute, over the top insanity that I have witnessed during my time in the ER. This book is the untold, unseen, and unshared rants and raves of an ER nurse, who has been slowly being driven mad by his patients. I want you, the reader to step into my scrubs, see this bizarre world through my eyes, and understand that once you stop laughing in the ER, it's time to quit. This book is the stupid stories that I still don’t believe. It’s the codes gone crazy. It’s the “I can’t believe you said that.” It’s a testament to everything an ER nurse puts up with on a day in and day out basis that most people don’t know exists. It makes Scrubs, E.R., House, and all the other medical shows look like fairy tales. As an ER nurse, I want to let the world know that when we pull that curtain and leave the room, we are laughing because let’s face it, it’s funny. Please from this moment forward stop and close this book if you think you are about to read about nursing at it’s finest. This is not Florence Nightingale’s kind of nursing; this is the grit, spit, vomit and s#!t that comes with the job I love/hate so much.

I have a macabre sense of humor mostly so I enjoy real life situational humor as opposed to canned jokes or "schtick" humor. Seeing human foilables instead of hearing them does the job for me. It takes a lot to make me truly laugh out loud like a real belly laugh. This book, in many parts, had me laughing to the point I cried. Kudos to the author for his sense of humor especially in written form. My very best was the phlebotomy (Chapter 11) section; "you only get one shot at this." The analogy of going into a restaurant, ordering a steak & telling the chef he's only going to get one shot of this made me roar, even as I write this. (Maybe because I am a phlebotomist!). For those negative reviews out there....please, give me a break. Mr. Jacobs warned you in the forward & then said it best in stating if you don't or can't have a sense of humor in the profession he's in, then get out of medicine. The review that stated, "some things are better left unsaid" can't possibly understand the gruesomeness & man's inhumanity against man presented in the ER. You have to be "called" to this profession. Give the author a break. Trauma nurses & Dr.'s see things the average person cannot possibly comprehend. If they couldn't laugh, they'd end up in the psych ward !!! Thank God we have people such as these. If I were in a catastrophic medical situation & needed the Trauma personnel, I could only hope Mr. Jacobs or his clone, was attending me. Lighten up people, this is the real world & sometimes people say inappropriate things (see chapter in the book on intake info "Triage") which is frustrating. If you chose to ignore Mr. Jacob's warning in the beginning, you could have closed the book anytime. On a serious note, to those same nay-sayers, I understand.
