PATIENT CARE Death and Life in the Emergency Room

Jim Seybert's narration achieves the learned tone of a physician who's been through some of the most challenging medical cases a doctor can face. Listeners seeking insights about the difficult work of emergent care will find this audiobook fascinating and sometimes challenging. Seward, a retired physician, provides a series of reflective essays on his decades of work as an emergency room doctor. Some of these stories are lighthearted, as when Seward describes the power of fixing a simple childhood injury. Some events are heartbreaking, as when he counsels a father facing the imminent death of his daughter. Seward routinely focuses on moments that culminate into questions about the meaning of life. Seybert performs this audiobook in a voice imbued with wisdom paired with deep compassion. S.P.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2018]
