White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine by Frank HuylerEmed.unm.eduAnother “pitch-perfect book of short essays” (New York Times Book Review) from the acclaimed author of Blood of Strangers, this one exploring the contemporary practice of medicine from the perspective of a doctor with 25 years of experience in the ER.In the late 1990s, a young physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, published a stunning memoir of his experiences in the highly charged world of the ER. Presented in a series of powerful, poetic vignettes, The Blood of Strangers became an instant classic.Now, over two decades later, Dr. Frank Huyler delivers another dispatch from the trenches—this time from the perspective of middle age. In portraits visceral, haunting, sometimes surreal, Huyler reveals the gritty reality of medicine practiced on the razor’s edge between life and death.From the doomed, like the Iraq vet with a brain full of shrapnel, to the self-destructive, like the young woman who inserts a sewing needle into her heart, to the transcendent, like the homeless Navajo artist whose sketches charm the nurses, Huyler assembles a profound mosaic of human suffering and grace, complemented by episodes from his personal life: the hail that fell the night his wife gave birth, his drive through a snowstorm to see his father in a Colorado ER, the beautiful wedding of his childhood friend with terminal cancer. Melding hard-earned wisdom with a poet’s crystalline vision, Huyler evokes the awesome burden of responsibility, the exhaustion, the relief of a costume disco nurse party, and those rare occasions when the confluence of luck and science yield, in the author’s words, “moments of breathtaking greatness.” White Hot Light offers an unforgettable portrait of a field that illuminates society at its most vulnerable, and its most elemental.Frank Huyler is an emergency physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the author of the The Blood of Strangers, The Laws of Invisible Things, and Right of Thirst. His poetry has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Georgia Review, and Poetry, among others.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine by Frank Huyler

We talk with Margot Livesy. Her new novel, The Boy In The Field, explores the limits of free will and how we respond to what happens to us. Then, an emergency room doctor evaluates the lessons of 25 years in emergency medicine and their relevance to life and writing. We talk with Frank Huyler about his memoir, White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine. We also ask him what it’s like to be an ER doc in the midst of covid. Finally, we talk with writer and English professor K.L. Cook about opening up the campus to in-person learning in the midst of the covid19 pandemic. Writer’s Voice — in depth conversation with writers of all genres, on the air since 2004. Rate us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts!

Margot Livesy One September afternoon in 1999, teenagers Matthew, Zoe, and Duncan Lang are walking home from school when they discover a boy lying in a field, bloody and unconscious. Thanks to their intervention, the boy’s life is saved. In the aftermath, all three siblings are irrevocably changed. That’s the premise of Margot Livesy’s terrific new novel The Boy In The Field. In language that is pared down to the essential, she creates a story that is compelling and deeply satisfying. Her characters are sympathetic and engrossing, including a remarkable dog of great wisdom and compassion. The Boy in the Field is Margot Livesy’s ninth novel. Originally from the UK, she lives in the US. Writers Voice has previously talked with Margot Livesy about her novels, Mercury, The Flight of Gemma Hardy, and The House on Fortune Street.

In 1999 he wrote The Blood of Strangers: True Stories from the Emergency Room, a much acclaimed collection of vignettes describing his experience as a new ER doctor. Now more than 20 years later, he’s come out with a new memoir reflecting on the long arc of his experiences in the ER, White Hot Light: Twenty-Five Years in Emergency Medicine. In it, he confronts the enduring challenge of remaining connected to his humanity and that of his patients when the unrelenting stress of crisis threatens to overwhelm compassion.
