Critical Care · A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between

“Among all the recent books on medicine, *Critical Care* stands alone.“ — Pauline Chen, author of *Final Exam*

“A must read for anyone who wants to understand healthcare. Extraordinary.” — Elizabeth Cohen, MPH, CNN Senior Medical Correspondent

*Critical Care* is the powerful and absorbing memoir of Theresa Brown—a regular contributor to the *New York Times* blog “Well”—about her experiences during the first year on the job as an oncology nurse; in the process, Brown sheds brilliant light on issues of mortality and meaning in our lives.
