Your ER Survival Guide

Few people get through life without at least one trip to the emergency room (ER), either as a patient or support person for a family member or friend. 'Your ER Survial Guide' is designed to help calm readers’ fears by giving them the lowdown on how an ER operates. The book is written by Kathleen Handal, MD, an emergency physician with over 20 years experience. Handal is a nationally and internationally known emergency medicine physician who authored “The American Red Cross First Aid & Safety Handbook” and co-authored a series of medical textbooks.
Doc Handal ER Guide is available an electronic and print version to advises readers on how to navigate the ER. Included are ten simple steps to follow to get ready for an ER visit, as well as valuable insight into how an ER operates so readers can advocate for the best care possible. Complicated tests and terminology are explained in easy-to-understand terms.
Doctors and nurses are making decisions in a fast-paced, stressful environment. Mistakes can and do happen. So the more people know about what to expect the less likely one of those mistakes will happen to them. Reading the book is like having Doc Handal at your side when you need her the most. Take it with you when you go!
