A Night In The Life

Dr. Gary Phillips, an inveterate and increasingly disenchanted emergency physician, reports for a busy night shift in the ER at a small community hospital in Pittsburgh. On this frenetic evening, he attends many ill patients, encountering in each of them some facet of the Southside neighborhood and its once-promising, industrial past...or its economic decline. Gritty, authentic, and hauntingly realistic, A Night in the Life is based on the author's own experiences in a small urban emergency department.
