In his medical memoir, Breathless—Behind the Scenes of Intensive Care, Ronald Kolter, M.D., takes readers to the frontlines of caring for critically ill patients who are “breathless”—having trouble breathing. Drawing from four decades of experience as a physician in an intensive care unit, Kotler shares compelling stories of patients who were near death or who were facing the end-of-life. He describes the “rollercoaster” of critical care for patients who struggle to survive and the health care professionals trying to save them.
Kotler’s inspiring stories will educate readers as well as salutes the doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals who make up the American health care system.
