All that can happen…will Revealing and unflinching, Behind the Curtain offers an unfiltered look inside the real-life traumas and triumphs that define emergency medicine. The first book from Dr. Jeffrey Sterling succeeds as both an enlightening memoir and an unforgiving mirror reflecting the best and worst of human behavior, and the authentic collection of stories represents his unique journey as an ER physician, which spans two decades and dozens of cities and countries, including more than 75,000 patients. Through Behind the Curtain, the author unveils the insidious consequences of everyday risks and seemingly innocuous habits, and his cautionary tales will inspire readers to reevaluate the fine line between “fun” and fundamentally flawed decisions. Moving, enthralling, and an entertaining catalyst for healthier, more responsible living, Dr. Sterling’s inaugural work is a testament to the power of prevention and the importance of personal empowerment.
