About this audiobook
In every hospital emergency department there is a room reserved for trauma. It is a place where life and death are separated by the thinnest of margins. A place where some families celebrate the most improbable of victories while others face the most devastating of losses. A place where what matters the most in this life is revealed.
Trauma Room Two is just such a place.
In this collection of short stories, Dr. Green takes the listener inside the hidden emotional landscape of emergency medicine. Based on fifteen years of experience as an ER physician, he reveals the profound moments that often occur in emergency rooms for patients, their families, and the staff that work there.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very lovely book. Made me tear up a few times.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sad, joyful, lovely! A story about life as it is and all the dramas it might bring
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a wonderful book. I especially liked the last patient’s story. Dr. Green, you deal wonderfully with the human element in your writing, as only those who are truly attuned to human nature are. Your writing is not merely words on a page, they are pictures for the reader’s mind. Please keep writing, the literate world is in need of authors like you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not too shabby. Interesting stories. Good voice. Very descriptive in a good way.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome. Everyone should know how life ends and the journey
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The writing is so well done, you feel and experience every detail of his story. Magnificent!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found this book a little different than others like it. It has beautiful and heartbreaking stories about emergency care but I found that the way they are told are more “artistic” and captivating than others I’ve read. I truly felt like I was in the room as the events were taking place. Dr. Green experienced a lot in his years in the emergency room, and the way he retells his stories is through a deep remembrance as he reflects on his patients and their lives, all the little details are brought to life. I cried at the end of almost every chapter. What our healthcare workers go through during their careers is a great burden to carry. They can be champions, overcoming death, or the last person someone speaks to before their life ends. Thank you for sharing some of your story Dr. Green, and thank you for everything you have done for all of your patients.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Storyline was a bit bizarre, it starts off strange and finishes on an odd note.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book rescues from the artificial & robotic nature of our lives and take you to warm,passionate & lovable life of humanity.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a fantastic book. Dr Green gives the reader a compassionate look at life as an ER doctor. He tells us stories about patients but what affected me the most were what his stories told about him - the way death affected him, the tiredness, the stress. I laughed at some of the stories but cried during many more of them. The book wa a serious look at life while dealing with trauma patients. Fantastic!
