About the Author

Carl Elbing is a working, time-card punching ICU RN who started publishing cartoons back in 1994. This is both an expression of his professional experience, and a required part of his supervised therapy. His sincerest hope is that his satire and lightheartedness help to shed light at the pressing issues in healthcare today. He also would like to be allowed to hold the narcotic keys again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny!, May 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Becoming a Nurse Healer (Paperback)

A wonderful mix of lite and dark humor. Representative of the real world of a bedside nurse. Great book for nurses who work in the trenches. If you are a hospital administrator, I don't think you would like it.
