Another Man Dies In The ER

To see this complete program visit http://www.createspace.com/205722 This documentary was made at Detroit Receiving Hospital. It was designed to help nurses and other hospital staff deal with burnout, a common problem in these stressful situations. I'm proud of its style - and have heard that this documentary provoked the ER television specials that became so popular.

I really like the narrator's voice. I want to order this.

mrhe832 - The narrator is a New York actress and I wanted her voice to sound like an older nurse. Thank you for the compliment.

Poor man... "Death is a powerful stress-giver."

It's not the death but it's the family members left behind

The guy on (0:24) looks like Jim Belushi from According to Jim!

@xEmoLov3rx it looks like the early 90's by the way the ambulance looks

I would not have the heart to do this job just seeing people fade away in front of me no matter how hard I tried to save them I think would kill a bit of my soul each time. I think although these doctors are used to it and are hardened to the work it MUST take its toll on their human side maybe some later years.

@lcain105 ..........I live in Detroit. That man was my neighbor who died. He was a nice guy who had substance abuse problems. His name was Jason Shepard.

What year was this program filmed? By the looks of the hospital and the hairstyles of workers, it looks like anywhere from 1997-2001...am I correct?

thanks for the video. after experiencing three deaths at work this week, it's nice to know that i'm not the only one who feels the way i do

[jcbgrunt0311]

Very good video!  thanks!

@KFD442 : Wow. A very insightful thought. Thanks. I've been thinking about entering the medical profession but I've been stopped by my awareness that I will see death. I was searching for a philosophical base on which I can stand that incorporates my faith. Your comment, I think, supplies that base. Thanks.
