Dr. Brown, Chicago Hospital, writes: "A woman came into the ER, ready to give birth, followed by her husband and about ten kids. Their last name was King.

What Customers Say About Confessions of Emergency Room Doctors:

This book has perhaps 6-10 items that are of any real value. Additionally the kindle versions has more typos than I could keep track of. ther rest are strange storys with no real meaning and old jokes and urban myths that have been debunked for quite some time. I was appalled at some of the insensivity towards patients (particulary the mentaly unstable and elderly) in this text. I'm not sure if this is an error in conversion or proofreading. Either way this book is not agood value.

I enjoy reading every book that comes out that contains stories, anecdotes, etc. Another large portion of the stories are simply not interesting or funny.To top it off, the author even admits at the beginning of the book that he can't vouch for the authenticity of the stories.

What a huge disappointment. A large portion of the "stories" have already been told at least once in other books.

So essentially, he put together a collection of stories from various sources without doing any research as to their accuracy and without reading similar books written before to check for repetitiveness.The book is unoriginal, uninspired, and a waste of time and money. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because there were at least a handful of mildly funny stories I hadn't heard before.

This book was definitely worth reading if you are into ER stories. I work in the Er and enjoyed it very much.

I found this book and the stories a tad boring. Am a former nurse and it just didn't hold my interest. Perhaps others will like it more.
