FascinatingThis book a captivating read filled with riveting stories and medical insight。 I could hardly put it down at night。

Rebecca

Series of short anecdotes depicting the life of a trauma surgeon and emergency medicine。 Appreciated the perspective of someone who has worked in the field a long time and how medicine has changed during his practice。 The anecdotes were short vignettes, made it harder to go deeper into the book。

Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ARC audiobook of this book。I have always harbored an interest in both medicine and trauma (in another life I would have become a trauma nurse。。。maybe still in this one。。。who knows)。 This book reads as quickly as trauma codes are called- fast。 Cohn's narrative carries a wealth of knowledge, among a multitude of first hand stories- which is what I really enjoyed about it。 As you read, you really became invested in the cases that Cohn was going throug Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ARC audiobook of this book。I have always harbored an interest in both medicine and trauma (in another life I would have become a trauma nurse。。。maybe still in this one。。。who knows)。 This book reads as quickly as trauma codes are called- fast。 Cohn's narrative carries a wealth of knowledge, among a multitude of first hand stories- which is what I really enjoyed about it。 As you read, you really became invested in the cases that Cohn was going through, both in a human sense (caring for these people) and in the medical sense (how the doctors made the choices, was there something different could have been done, was the best choice made etc。) Absolutely fascinating。 This was very much nonfiction that reads like fiction。 And of course I have to shout out Paul Heitsch on an excellent narration。 I actually didn't realize that Stephen Cohn himself wasn't the narrator until the end of the book because Paul read so genuinely。 I would recommend this book to medical students, science seekers and anyone with a fascination of medical shows, trauma calls, and medical mysteries (which have to be solved with zero time)。 。。。more

All Bleeding Stops by Stephen M。 Cohn had some interesting stories from the OR。 I was hoping for more interesting stories than the ones told。 If you're not in the medical field, some details may be too graphic for the lay person。 There also should be a trigger warning for suicide。 The narrator did a decent job even though I listened to it on 1。5 speed。 *Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for the ARC of this audiobook* All Bleeding Stops by Stephen M。 Cohn had some interesting stories from the OR。 I was hoping for more interesting stories than the ones told。 If you're not in the medical field, some details may be too graphic for the lay person。 There also should be a trigger warning for suicide。 The narrator did a decent job even though I listened to it on 1。5 speed。 *Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for the ARC of this audiobook* 。。。more

As a medical professional I enjoyed the stories。 I think he did an excellent job on pointing out the flaws in our health care system and its training。

I usually enjoy books about modern medicine, and this was no exception。 This surgeon has had many different kinds of experiences and has even been a patient himself。 He tells story after story after story of the events he personally witnessed。It was fun, especially when he expressed his own amazement。 Even someone with his education and experience was not able to predict with accuracy which patients would make it, as some people managed to recover from insane injuries。The narrator was good, with I usually enjoy books about modern medicine, and this was no exception。 This surgeon has had many different kinds of experiences and has even been a patient himself。 He tells story after story after story of the events he personally witnessed。It was fun, especially when he expressed his own amazement。 Even someone with his education and experience was not able to predict with accuracy which patients would make it, as some people managed to recover from insane injuries。The narrator was good, with just the right amount of emotion。 Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this 。。。more

This is a super interesting and informative look into the medical field--specifically trauma surgery。 The storytelling is fast-paced, but also includes thoughtful asides about research, possible law reformation, and unique quotes。 Should there be a content warning? Here's mine-- if thinking about bodily functions makes you queasy, maybe this isn't the book for you。 I appreciate the sacrifices people make to save lives even when the cause of injury is stupid。 Even though there are badly educated This is a super interesting and informative look into the medical field--specifically trauma surgery。 The storytelling is fast-paced, but also includes thoughtful asides about research, possible law reformation, and unique quotes。 Should there be a content warning?

*****I received this audiobook free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review。 I loved this! Granted, I am someone who enjoys learning about what happens with strange medical cases and how the trauma unit works。 I am fascinated by some of the gross but true instance。 This book was very easy to listen to。 I finished it in 2 days。 It kept my interest and gave me a new perspective of a few things in the medical field。 I would highly recommend this book if you are in to these types of books!!!

Before reviewing the book, I would like to say that I'm a medical professional with about 15 years of experience on and off for the casualty。 There will definitely difference in how medical world works in author's country versus mine but I will tell you one thing, it is never as dull as the experiences in this book are。I am fan of medical books, I always try and grab one once in a while as I crave my residency days。 The thrill, the pressure, the stress of handling ER in the dead of the night whe Before reviewing the book, I would like to say that I'm a medical professional with about 15 years of experience on and off for the casualty。 There will definitely difference in how medical world works in author's country versus mine but I will tell you one thing, it is never as dull as the experiences in this book are。I am fan of medical books, I always try and grab one once in a while as I crave my residency days。 The thrill, the pressure, the stress of handling ER in the dead of the night when whole world is sleeping but not you。 It gives a sense of accomplishment, saving lives making your place in the world, bold and enigmatic。All bleeding stops however did not give me that sense of urgency, like time mattered minutes even seconds。 It was not as exciting as I thought it would be。 The narration wasn't great either maybe that's why I couldn't really connect to the book or enjoy the book。 Also it annoyed me that after every case, author pointed out how one can avoid it。 Like drunk driver shouldn't be driving。 Weapon laws in US needs changing, don't we all know that how devastating the results are。Everyone knows it and yet nothing changes so it was getting frustrating when author kept mentioning corrective measures for every accident that happened in the book but the accounts of the accidents were not detailed but the measures to avoid them from happening were long。Thank you Netgalley and dreamscape media and mayo clinic press for the ARC in exchange of an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you Dreamscape Media, Mayo Clinic Press, and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this wonderful book。 I really enjoyed this medical memoir that made me feel like I was right there, in the trauma & operation rooms with the author。 Great narration, interesting cases, and an adrenaline filled, fast read I would definitely recommend to anyone。

So cool to see!! I wish I could have watched the whole surgery on video。Narration notes:Paul did a fine job。*Thanks to the author, Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for the ARC。 I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*Connect with me ➡ Blog ~ Facebook ~ Twitter 。。。more
