Tending Lives: Nurses on the Medical Front Mass market paperbound - 1999
by Echo Heron
Nurse and author of "Condition Critical" and "Intensive Care", Echo Heron presents oral histories more riveting than fiction. Heron turns to fellow nurses whose voices offer extraordinary accounts--from the Oklahoma City bombing to a movie set to Death Row--of life in the trenches of health care.
Summary
First line
I believe that when a person becomes a nurse, they sign on for life.
From the jacket flap
A critical-care nurse in coronary and emergency medicine for eighteen years, Echo Heron has seen and heard it all. Here she recounts narratives of real-life medical dramas experienced by nurses across the country, sharing with us the inspiring, the tragic, and the outrageously funny: a penitentiary nurse who wasresponsible for orchestrating a murderer's execution; a stroke victim who rose out of his depression when his nurses began telling him jokes; and, perhaps the most riveting testimony, moment-by-moment memories of several nurses who served in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Filled with both tears and laughter and charged with the issues that afflict nursing care today, TENDING LIVES is a gripping, moving, inspiring book, a fitting tribute to a noble profession.
