About this Event

The Casino Shift is a raw, revealing look at what goes on in ERs big and small across the country, from the incredible challenges of practising “waiting room medicine,” to discovering untreated cancer in a twenty-something patient.

Dr. Goldman speaks with host Amie Archibald-Varley (The Gritty Nurse Podcast) about stories of frustrated and burned-out colleagues as well as the passion they have for being there in your hour of greatest need.

Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
