Life in the ER After Midnight Book 3
Paul is a Registered Nurse working in the Level 1 Trauma Emergency Room of the inner city hospital in Charleston, WV. He worked the 3 in the afternoon shift which sometimes turned into a double shift that had him leaving the ER at 7:30 a.m. and rushing off to class in a near-by college where he was taking classes to get into a veterinary medical school, which pays off in the end of their long struggles, but will a close family member come to live with them after a trip to Kelly's parent's in Cleveland?
The ER shift, classes he attended during the day and working at the Dunbar Animal Hospital provided the adrenaline he so thrived on. When the sun went down the amount and severity of the trauma patients that presented in the Er both increased. It may h ave been a rough shift that m any avoided, but Paul seemed to do better as the s tress level and traumas increased. Patients ranging from gunshot wounds to the utterly psychotic presented themselves in many times rare form to the doors of the ER. Whether that is by ambulance or in the back of a pickup truck, they came by the groves some nights. On the slower nights Paul would use them to read and study for his next days classes.
Paul would leave the ER Saturday mornings and head to his second job at the animal hospital. Long hours though they may have been, they were training him for the rigors of vet school.
Many of the most interesting nights were spent triaging patients that were ambulatory in their decision to be treated in the ER. Paul wasn't ever a fan of psychiatry rotations in school or at work, but he garnered many valuable lessons in studying the people that were separated from him in the waiting room by just the walls of the triage desk and it's small cubicle. There was the transvestite that would throw himself in front of vehicles and ambulances acting out seizure like activity. As well as the patient who was left alone for a weekend by his family and during that time decided to blow the front of his skull off while remaining seated on the couch watching cartoons. It was an extra-ordinary job, but one Paul found unfathomably different and on some nights quite entertaining with an EMS impersonator dancing up and down the halls that was featured on national television.
It was most definitely not for the faint of heart, but Paul liked it and it passed the time, as well s paid the bills, until he could get into vet school. Not to mention the romance he struck up with Kelly a trauma surgery attending. Soon to be his wife, Kelly and Paul are deeply in love. Will this be the book for them to get married? Paul is in vet school at the Univ. of Florida and Kelly is an attending trauma surgeon at the medical center. There's an extremely good likelihood of marriage in this book, but Paul gets shot on a trip to West Virginia and over a year later he is still having problems with the left shoulder blade where he was shot. Is it just a pain issue? Is he dependent on the narcotics? Presenting a new problem or is it something more serious. Has the bone not healed properly or was there damage to the muscles, brachial plexus, that help move the arm properly? Either way it could put his career as a veterinarian and a registered nurse at risk.
All the trauma stories are true, but the names of the patients were changed to protect the innocent and insane.

About the Author

He was a registered nurse for 17 years and as you will read on the first page of his books, he lost a daughter to SIDS and all his books are dedicated to her and her sister. He and his wife decided to move out of the Charleston, WV area where they lived. He mistakenly decided that he should join the Navy as a registered nurse and officer. Read NCIS Behind the Glory to find out how the Navy almost killed him and how. This becomes quite dramatic, but is completely based on a true story. It has been labeled with 4 and one half stars on this site. Sadly he almost lost his life, but he was allowed to transfer to WV to get medical treatment. Since July 9, 2004 he hadn't received a paycheck from the Navy. His medical, dental and other health coverage was cut off in March, 2008 in an attempt to discourage his pursuits of being medically discharged from the Navy.

He died August 31, 2015 of an acute and chronic seizure at the age of 40.
