Ghastly and Ghoulish Tales from the ER: A Saga in Sixteen Parts by Mitch Goldman

Take a trip between Heaven and Hell with a small group of docs and nurses as they journey through a big-city ER. There they will dance with Death in a sixteen-part saga, laughing, crying, loving, screaming and talking with God. And by the way – the stories are true, mostly. You’ll meet Dean Miller, a veteran with near-terminal burnout; Bob Finkel, a sarcastic doc with hopeless cynicism; Peter Moore, tired of life; Karlita, the Body Snatcher, and Jeff Sanders, King of the Morgue. They and many others will endure outrageous adventures, with a few side visits to…well, ‘somewhere else’.

This book is your passport into a secretive but very real world. You will witness things you may have imagined, but never really thought could be true. Television and the cinema wouldn’t dare touch any of this. Some parts of the book are wildly funny; some, hauntingly sad. Others are very sexy, others bizarre, and others just this side of madness. And they’re true, mostly.

Welcome to the emergency room. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride. You’re going to remember this trip.
