The actual dark humor medical expression is “all bleeding stops eventually.” I bought this hoping for the tales of numerous and intense stories of what goes into becoming a trauma surgeon and what it is like to practice. Books of this genre I have listened to so far have been lively with both light hearted and heavy stories. This one is similar, but it adds a much more academic/educational flavor re: statistics on surgeon training, work hours, funding of research, etc. at first I was thinking this book wasn’t what I wanted. But by the time it was done, I appreciated that it actually enlightened me about some hidden and not so hidden political and financial issues that significantly impact the care delivered in the US.
It never hurts to learn while being entertained, but if your are strictly seeking entertainment, this may not be the book for you.
