Something for the Pain: One Doctor's Account of Life and Death in the ER: Compassion and Burnout in the ER

â€œWhat makes this inspiring medical memoir stand out is the courageous measure of Austinâ€™s humanity.â€â€”Publishers Weekly

In this eye-opening account of life in the ER, Paul Austin recalls how the daily grind of long, erratic shifts and endless hordes of patients with sad stories sent him down a path of bitterness and cynicism. Gritty, powerful, and ultimately redemptive, Something for the Pain is a revealing glimpse into the fragility of compassion and sanity in the industrial setting of todayâ€™s hospitals.
