work ethic, and the selflessness of our nurses in countless
situations. They save our lives every day and represent the true
life blood of any hospital. Their stories are given the respect
they deserve and are captured beautifully in E.R. Nurses."--Sanjay
Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN

death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have

done I felt like I was changed forever." --Sebastian Junger, author
