Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Autorensignatur; Spuren von Feuchtigkeit / Nasse; Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. In the intensive care unit (ICU) of a bustling city hospital, Tilda Shalof finds herself among a unique team of nurses known as "Laura's Line." This group is characterized by their intelligence, humor, and a healthy disregard for authority, all while demonstrating deep care and commitment to their work. Laura leads with her quick wit, while Frances, from Newfoundland, is known for her creative cooking. Justine, the union representative, boldly sports t-shirts with slogans like "Nurses Care But It's Not in the Budget." Despite Shalof's university education, her colleagues tease her for being "sooo sensitive." The emotional and physical demands of ICU work are immense, as many patients are in critical condition, and the staff strives to extend their lives. However, they often grapple with the ethics of their interventions, questioning whether some measures are too extreme for terminally ill patients. The toll on the staff is significant, yet on good days, they find fulfillment in their roles. Shalof vividly portrays the intensity of the work, highlighting moments of chaos and camaraderie, as well as the challenges and triumphs faced by nurses. Through her experiences, she offers a compelling glimpse into the realities behind closed hospital curtains, blending drama, humor, and the pressing issues of healthcare.
