Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The room where the stroke was diagnosed was chaotic, with beeping heart monitors, alarms, and people murmuring all around. The smell of disinfectant was overwhelming. #2 On her first day on the job, she encountered a wide variety of cases, from a fall to a chest pain to suicidal ideation. She kept the patients upbeat and made sure they were taken care of. #3 Strokes manifest themselves as a clot or bleeding in the brain.
