Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I mention that I work in an emergency room, people usually say, 1. Are you a nurse? 2. Wow. That must be really hard. 3. What's it like? This is what it's like to be an emergency doctor. That teenager puking up two liters of vodka and his stomach lining at triage? Yup. Blood pouring out of a terrified pregnant woman? Call me. And, of course, the patient who no longer has a nosebleed screaming at me across the department, "YOU are the most UNFEELING DOCTOR I have EVER MET!" Fun fun fun. Let me peel back the curtain for you. It's not an iron curtain. In the emerg, it's most likely a crummy fabric curtain that too many other people have sneezed on. Come on in.

Book Synopsis Graveyard Shift by : Melissa Yi

Download or read book Graveyard Shift written by Melissa Yi. This book was released on 2019. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drugs. Alcohol. Violence. Chaos. All in a night’s work for Dr. Hope Sze, aspiring Montreal emergency physician—until someone tries to strangle her with her own stethoscope. Then Hope’s lover disappears. A second woman barely escapes throttling before her beloved vanishes too. Hope slogs through the pneumonia and hemorrhoid patients cramming the ER while a psychopath stalks the empty, post-midnight hallways of St. Joseph’s Hospital. Waiting. Waiting patiently. Until everything explodes. “Worst. Night. Shift. Ever. That’s the premise behind Graveyard Shift, and once again Yi proves herself a masterful storyteller as she takes us on another adventure with the ever-so-human Dr. Hope Sze. Filled with twists, turns, and plenty of humour, this is one killer emergency room, but don’t worry—you’ll be turning the pages so fast, you’ll be out of there before you've finished your second cup of very bad coffee.” —Judy Penz Sheluk, author of the Glass Dolphin and Marketville Mystery series "Ms. Yi has crafted another compelling story filled with suspense, murder, and emergency room drama. Captivated from the start, I read the entire book in one sitting. Days later, I continue to shake my head in amazement at the many unexpected twists and turns in this well-plotted, character-driven novel. It’s official—I’m now a fan of the Hope Sze Medical Mystery series and hope that Ms. Yi will deliver the next installment ASAP."—Joanne Guidoccio, Author of the Gilda Greco Mystery Series “Bruises, bloodwork and betrayal. Hope's latest night shift will leave you breathless! The detective doctor dukes it out with addicts, hoodlums and God in her latest thriller. This is one night shift that will keep you wide awake - a real page turner from the first scene.”—RH Nix, author of The Golden One “Dr. Hope Sze steps into a Montreal ER packed with sick and snarky patients, thrust into a world of thrills, spills, and murder. Abandon all Hope Sze who enter the Graveyard Shift.” Dr. Frank Warsh, author of The Flame Broiled Doctor “An engrossing read with laugh out loud moments balanced with poignant social commentary. Murder and mayhem set in a painstakingly detailed modern hospital. Hope Sze always delivers!”—Dawn Kiddell, prior CEO and Chief Librarian, Cornwall Public Library PRAISE FOR THE HOPE SZE SERIES #1 Mystery Selection—CBC Books, on Human Remains.

Book Synopsis Terminally Ill by : Melissa Yi

Download or read book Terminally Ill written by Melissa Yi. This book was released on 2014-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHEN HOUDINI MEETS MURDER Magic? Dr. Hope Sze steers clear of magic. But when “Elvis the Escape King” chains and nails himself inside a coffin and lowers himself into Montreal’s St. Lawrence River, in honour of Harry Houdini, he can’t break free. So Hope restarts his heart and saves his life. But now Elvis demands to know who sabotaged his stunt. Hope hung up her amateur detective badge two months ago in order to tend to cancer patients on palliative care. The only cases she solves right now are case studies on pain and over-stuffed emergency rooms. Which gets just the tiniest bit boring. Hope could escape Montreal any day now. She could transfer to Ottawa to join her ex-paramour, Ryan. No more unspeakable Montreal drivers and stymied medical care. No more working with the charming yet infuriating Dr. Tucker. Hope the Escape Artist can afford to act generous. As parting gift to Montreal, city of festivals (and murderers), she could help Elvis out. Just asking a few questions won’t hurt anyone. Right? And so Hope plunges into her most unconventional and, possibly, her most terminal adventure yet. Where the magical art of escape and the dastardly art of crime vie for centre stage, and the better man may lose. Forever. "Entertaining and insightful." --Publishers Weekly "Narrating in a sprightly style while sharing some of the nitty-gritty of a resident's job, Hope Sze is an utterly likeable character.”--Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine

Book excerpt: When Dr. Hope Sze flies to Los Angeles to reunite with her soul mate, John Tucker, she expects Botoxed blondes with Brazilian wax jobs, not terror at 35,000 feet in the air. Yet on their way home, with 1000 miles to go and nowhere to land, she and Dr. Tucker must strive to save one man’s life. Hope and Tucker have no surgical equipment. No surgeon on board. And, as first year family medicine residents, almost no experience. But right this second, they’ll try anything. Especially Hope, because minutes before, she might have accidentally helped to kill the man sprawled at her feet. "Tachycardia-inducing." Dr. Anna-Maria Carvalho, MD, Emergency & Aviation Medicine “Awesome. A real page-turner.” Dr. Ben Alkan, Trauma Surgeon "Medicine, murder, mayhem, and the most nightmarish story about airlines at the holidays since Die Hard 2. Laugh, learn, and cringe as medical MacGyver and human s**t magnet Dr. Hope Sze faces down lovers and killers, all before the seatbelt sign gets turned on for landing." Dr. Frank Warsh, author of The Flame Broiled Doctor "Wonderfully captures the tensions of managing crises, mingled with the wit, improvisation, and humour used to survive them. Great characters with personality quirks that many docs will recognize." Dr. Mark Soth, Intensive Care Unit Specialist "I don’t think I have ever read a book so many times, and I am really excited to read it again! I love it. It kept me up all night. I had to tell the whole airline about it."
