Angels in the ER: Inspiring True Stories from an Emergency Room Doctor Editorial Review:

Twenty–five years in the ER could become a resume for despair, but for Dr. Robert D. Lesslie it’s a foundation for inspiring tales of angels who are friends, nurses, doctors, patients, strangers, or those unseen but clearly present “others” in the midst of trial.

“The ER is a difficult and challenging place to be. Yet the same pressures and stresses that make this place so challenging also provide an opportunity to experience some of life’s greatest wonders and mysteries.” Dr. Lesslie illuminates messages of hope while sharing captivating stories about:

• discovering lessons from the ER frontline
• watching miracles unfold
• witnessing the handiwork of angels
• holding onto faith during tragedy and triumph
• embracing the healing balm of hope

For anyone who enjoys stories of the miraculous, this gathering is a reminder that hope turns emergencies into opportunities and each trial into a demonstration of God’s grace.

Customer Reviews:
Very interesting, but lacking the miraculous
The stories in the book are very interesting and easy to read. It's hard to put the book down. However, I found that it was lacking in what the title of the book advertises. For example, in the chapter titled "It Must have been a miracle", he says "A miracle. I have never personally witnessed anything I would call a miracle of healing, nor have any of my colleagues..." He then goes on to tell the story of a teenage girl who came in and discovered she was pregnant. Her mother was of course upset, but in the end they were hugging because she discovered her daughter had been molested by her uncle. The only miracle in that story was that it was Christmas Eve and the girl had claimed to be a virgin and the author was comparing the situation to Jesus' virgin birth. So, if you are looking for true miracles, or real stories of angels, I would suggest a subscription to Guideposts.

From the heart
I'm a physician assistant who knew and worked with Dr. Bob Lesslie years ago when he was an emergency medicine resident at Charlotte Memorial Hospital and Medical Center. Although I had lost touch with him, my sister bought me his book for Christmas and he made me feel good all over again. Bob enjoys the work he does and the people he works with. I still remember his sense of humor back in those days. One night it was quite hectic in the ER and Dr. Lesslie got on the ER intercom to announce, "Will the patient who rode the Brahma bull to the ER please remove it from the parking lot immediately." As patients and visitors swarmed from their seats in the waiting room to "see" the Brahma bull, Bob chuckled and picked up another chart to see another patient. He was funny and cool back then and apparently never lost those traits. We all used to talk about writing a book of ER experiences. Dr. Lesslie did it right. I read his book in 2 evenings and thoroughly enjoyed the stories. He's one of a kind and so is his book. God bless all the "angels" who continue to work in the ER.

ANGELS INDEED
This book will make you a believer in angels. I already am. I experienced them many times in the CCU before I received my 1991 heart transplant.

"Angels in the ER." Is inspiring reading for all readers whether they are healthcare professionals, bricklayers, or office workers. It is truly a gem.

If you like ER stories, this is for you
Th title may make you think this is a religious book, and while Dr. Leslie certainly has his point of view, it is not preachy at all. It is an book for folks who love ER stories and if you are inspired, well so much the better. I hope for more from this man.

I can't stop reading...
I have had the privilege to work with Dr. Lesslie during the summer at Camp Joy many times and the same care and compassion that he has for special needs campers is shown here is this GREAT book. The more I read it the less I want to put it down. Angels in the ER: Inspiring True Stories from an Emergency Room Doctor
