All of our country’s biggest public health challenges—from COVID-19 to the opioid crisis to gun violence to lack of insurance—collide in emergency departments. Nearly half of all medical care in the U.S. is delivered in E.D.s and nurses are on the frontlines, addressing our physical and emotional needs and sending us back out into the world. “In Case of Emergency” follows emergency nurses across the U.S, shedding light on the biggest health crises facing Americans today, and the opportunity that emergency nurses have to help break a sometimes-vicious cycle for patients under their care.
