This was an interesting book which was a mixture of equal parts the personal journey of Dr. Franklin, dozens of interesting cases, irreverent behavior on the part of the author and his colleagues, the history of Cook County Hospital and famous patients, and a global critique of strict patient confidentiality laws and an increasing use of a corporate model in hospitals.The Good: I wanted to learn about Cook County Hospital as I had a relative who worked there, and this book delved into some of the history of this famous hospital. I learned a little about hypothermia and some interesting medical cases, but the book is much more valuable in terms of learning good approaches to patient care and not to assume anything with a given patient.The Bad: The title of the book "Cook County ICU" conjures up images of a book about dozens of interesting ICU cases in this hospital when in fact few of the patients described were in the ICU, and more focus is put on the social conditions surrounding the patients, a very important facet to be sure, of their care in the hospital and what got them there and what happened next, but . . . the title and cover are advertising a different book in my opinion. I had to get over this disappoint quickly and learn whatever I could from the book, many sections of which are amazing and sort of interesting as they involve celebrities, but I would need to read a book by somebody else to read about just ICU cases. The medical aspects of a patient's hospital admission were often glossed over or described in layman's terminology, so you won't learn a lot of technical information. A of ink is spilt on when Princess Diana visited Cook County and other celebrities and how the author was a consultant for a Hollywood movie with Harrison Ford.Many sections were historically significant, such as the first HIV cases presenting at Cook County Hospital, but chapters are short and great insights and conclusions are often not made and the information is often presented as is and as an interesting factoid, to paraphrase the HIV chapter could be characterized as "Wow, we got blood of patients all over us in some instances and just washed it off and we didn't get HIV, things were different back then. In retrospect we could have written up a case report of one of the first cases of HIV, but we didn't connect the dots."Conclusion: It wasn't the book I was looking for, and I'll keep looking, but I have to give it 5 stars as I read it in two days as it was interesting and the author's approach to working in a hospital and actually taking care of patients are valuable and some of the stories of patients coming from difficult social situations I won't soon forget.
