Instead of chapters separating the book up, the names of nurses are there instead. This book is separated into four different sections: Day Shift, Night Shift, Flight Shift, and a Thank You section in the end.

Here, in Walk My Rounds With Me, we are seeing through the eyes of E.R. I always feel like short stories, especially micro-stories, are too short for my taste, but not here. These snippets are very short and some are only a mere two pages long, while others are only a little more. It’s formatted in a way that reminds me of the old Chicken Soup for the Soul books where you have true short stories taken as snippets from the lives of ordinary people, aiming to inspire you in some way or show you life through someone else’s eyes for a burst of a moment. nurses are at their best.Ī tribute to those who fight on the front lines of the E.R., this was a lovely read that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you understand. –Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom and The Perfect StormĪround the clock, across the country, these highly skilled and compassionate men and women sacrifice and struggle for us and our families. “James Patterson’s account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read.”

–Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN “The compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of nurses … are given the respect they deserve and captured beautifully here.”

The life-or-death intensity of working on the front lines, from America’s greatest unsung heroes. They save our lives every day, and we’ve never heard their stories.
