Read both. Looking for something... more positive...
In a residency slump, looking for a reminder that there's more to EM than moving widgets...

Baghdad ER is pretty good so far. Definitely not a typical practice environment, but an entertaining read nonetheless.
Frank Huyler (faculty at UNM) wrote the excellent collection of vignettes, The Blood of Strangers. He really captures the joy and (more often) the pain of practicing EM.
I highly recommend it to anyone who works in an ED.

That would be the first I'd go to for a residency slump. Don't forget the broader world, though! Cutting for Stone is a good read. And sometimes ya just need to give up and read a highly victorious children's book full of warriors and winning and yelling. Like Redwall.
...off to add The Blood of Strangers to my Amazon list. Thanks!

My wife is reading that right now. I worked with Paul when I was a resident. Good guy!
