Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse Mass market paperbound - 1988

by Echo Heron

Echo Heron fainted after giving her first injection; 10 years later, she was an experienced R.N., easing the last hours of a beloved cancer victim. Here is her story of her years in a major San Francisco hospital--where only a sense of humor and an indomitable spirit helped her survive.


First line

HALF-ASLEEP, MY CHEEKS still bearing patterns of pillow wrinkles, I walked behind my father and listened to the holes our footsteps made in the early-morning silence.

From the jacket flap

This is a nurse's story unlike any other, because Echo Heron is a very special nurse. Dedicated to healing and helping in the harshest environments, she spent ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Her story is unique, penetrating, and unforgettable. Her story is real.
"Compelling reading."
