NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Julie Holland thought she understood what crazy was. Then she came up to Bellevue. For nine eventful years, Dr. Holland was the weekend physician in charge of the psychiatric er at New York City’s Bellevue Clinic. Within this absorbing memoir, Holland recounts tales from her great case data files that are alternately terrifying, tragically comic, and profoundly moving: the serial killer, the naked man barking like a dog in Times Square, the schizophrenic begging for an injections of club soda to hushed the voices in his mind, the subway conductor who observed a young woman pushed in to the route of his coach.
Writing with unusual candor, Holland provides not only a page-turner with all the fast-paced immediacy of any TV medical play but also a remarkable glimpse in to the internal lives of doctors who struggle to maintain perspective in a global where sanity is in the eye of the beholder.
