About this listen

Julie Holland thought she knew what crazy was. Then she came to Bellevue. For nine eventful years, Dr. Holland was the weekend physician in charge of Bellevue's psychiatric emergency room. Deciding who gets locked up and who gets talked down would be an awesome responsibility for most people. For her, it was just another day at the office...

In an absorbing memoir laced with humor, Holland provides an unvarnished look at life in the Psych ER, recounting stories from her vast case file that are alternately terrifying, tragically comic, and profoundly moving. As Holland comes to understand, the degree to which someone can lose his or her mind is infinite, and each patient's pain leaves a mark on her as well--as does the cancer battle of a fellow doctor who is both her best friend and her most trusted mentor.

Writing with uncommon candor about her life both inside and outside the hospital, Holland supplies a fascinating glimpse into the inner lives of doctors, struggling to maintain perspective in a world where sanity is in the eye of the beholder.

This book is a disturbingly self-congratulatory account of malpractice in the field of psychiatric medicine. It's a nightmare that people like Julie Holland are doctors. Holland's bizarre, enthusiastic disclosure of her own prejudice, bigotry, and mistreatment of patients is outdated, naive, and truly an embarrassment to the psychiatric field. I can't imagine that behaviour such as Holland's would fly in this day and age. If you're interested in listening to hauntingly narcissistic stories that may confirm your worst nightmares about mental health professionals, you may wish to listen to this awful book. I am sorry to anyone who has had the misfortune of being this woman's patient. People struggling with their mental health deserve so much more than the psychological abuse and neglect Holland granted her patients at Bellevue.
