Condition Critical: The Story of a Nurse Continues (Revised 2024) is the compelling sequel to the New York Times bestselling Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse.
With her trademark wit and razor-sharp sensibilities, critical care nurse Echo Heron gives readers an intimate view into the emotional and often shocking world behind the closed doors of a hospital. Sidestepping antiquated bureaucratic rules, Heron chronicles her second decade in the battlefields of critical care, detailing her patients' often heartbreaking (and sometimes humorous) stories in ways that will stay entrenched in the reader's memory. As the struggle to protect and care for her patients grows more stressful due to increasing budget cuts and understaffing, Heron must face the toll it is taking on her own life.
Whether dealing with the schizophrenic Death Row inmate who must recover in time for his scheduled execution, coping with haunted hospital rooms or tackling the daily Emergency Room fare of freak accidents, overdoses, suicides, and the myriad victims of man's brutal inhumanity to man,
CONDITION CRITICAL is an unforgettable fast paced read you won't want to miss.
