Book Description
The Trauma ICU of a Level 1 trauma center is the setting for this thought-provoking novel, which reveals the ruthlessness of medical education and practice. James Fleming recounts a day in the life of a resident in emergency medicine at an urban teaching hospital. The novel's title, which translates loosely as "I thirst" echoes the Christ of St. John.Tengo Sed's protagonist, however, known only as Hovercraft because he is "always around, always feeling on edge," is not a savior but a hapless resident with a tendency toward mysticism. Through Hovercraftââ¬â¢s sleep-deprived eyes we see patients and their families, doctors, and nurses, and we share Hovercraft's increasingly nightmarish perceptions of a world in which things are not going right. Right of Thirst "A brutal and beautiful book. I read it straight through in one sitting, totally absorbed, deeply touched and frightened at the same time. The writing is taut, edgy, and original with not a wasted word . . . James Fleming has written a small, tough masterpiece."--John Nichols, author ofThe Milagro Beanfield War "Stripped-down, elemental, and willing to explore feelings of alienation and rebellion felt by a significant minority of medical students, interns, and residents."--Paul Linde, author ofDanger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist
