“When Chaos Calls: A Journey Through Pediatric Emergencies” by Dr. Christopher J. Haines is a compelling exploration of the unpredictable and often harrowing world of pediatric emergency medicine as well as the social issues that children and families deal with every day. Drawing from decades of experience as a pediatric emergency physician, Dr. Haines takes readers behind the scenes of the emergency department, where split-second decisions and unexpected cases are the norm. From the emotional turmoil of a pediatric gunshot wound to the surprising dangers of everyday playground equipment and rural accidents, each chapter reveals the intense and sometimes bewildering realities of treating children in crisis.

“Medical professionals, and more so emergency physicians, never know what each day or night will bring,” writes Dr. Haines. “Any shift can go from absolute boredom to sheer terror in matter of seconds. While the reality of life and death surrounds us, we rely on our training and try to be a compassionate, empathetic human being.

“The stories and cases in this book are not unique to me. Doctors in EDs across America have similar stories. These are the stories about the emergencies that I have managed and the children and parents that I have encountered and often comforted along the way. Every case, every child, every parent and family I have encountered along”
