Riassunto

Some three hundred people slam through its doors every day. Gunshot cops, battered kids, drug addicts, and suicides. Destitute drunks, bag ladies, AIDS sufferers, and accident victims. It's a bizarre parade of humanity looking for help. In the one place they know they can find it.
Welcome to the front-line trenches of medicine: the emergency room of the legendary Bellevue Hospital. Here an army of doctors and nurses -- and director Dr. Lewis R. Goldfrank -- face the onslaught of young and old, rich and ragged, sick and dying. All day, all night. All year.
This is their story -- a round-the-clock drama of the unexpected. . . . A crane falling on a hapless pedestrian . . . a crazed executive wearing two thrids of a three-piece suit . . . a pretty paralegal aide struggling with an on-the-job cocaine overdose . . . a trauma victim of an East River helicopter crash clinging to life . . . It's terrifying, tragic, triumphant, true. And it's the one story you'll never forget.
"Illuminating and knock-down thrilling enough to leave readers exhausted." -- The Washington Post Book World
