Larry Miller Book order

Never Get Sick on the First of July includes more than 100 of the most human, outrageous, memorable, and, yes, weirdest and funniest incidents of Doctor Miller's medical training at Chicago's Cook County Hospital, where he earned the Intern of the Year Award. While each is a story unto itself, the episodes trace his development as a physician and are woven together by his underlying philosophy emphasizing a personalized, and empathetic approach to patient care. The stories are enriched by illustrating his thought processes and reveal tightly held secrets that until now only medical "insiders" knew. Readers will not only be entertained by the situation, but will also gain a rare understanding of the dynamics that give emergency medicine such powerful appeal. Readers will learn how a mysterious headache was caused by a nail some "friends" had pounded into the victim's head, and find out how a patient got "lost" for three months on a surgical ward. Every story is a grabber; every one is true. With the tremendous popularity of the television series "ER" (which took place at Cook County Hospital), you will be surprised to know what it was really like inside the nation's favorite emergency room. Doctor Miller's book illustrates what everyone should know before going to any ER, especially on the first of July.

One of America's first great love stories of the twenty-first century Jake, a poor white boy from Appalachia, is a musical genius. When he arrives at Juilliard on a scholarship, the first person he meets is Jasmine, also a talented student, but enormously rich, cultivated, and the cherished daughter of a powerful Black family. Their love affair is strongly opposed by Jasmine's relatives and only half-heartedly accepted by Jake's. Growing in fame and prestige as both performer and composer, the innocent boy from the hills and the beautiful and sophisticated Jasmine of Newport and Central Park West struggle against hostility and outright violence in their attempt to find happiness together. Written in straightforward but lyrical prose that brings the music itself to life on page after page, the story unfolds in New York, Newport, Paris, the Berkshires, and Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Strengthened by a subplot involving Jasmine's lawyer brother and his actor-lover Lance, the novel sweeps the reader along with its rapid development and full cast of intriguing characters, all caught up in a web of complex relationships that defy the destructive power of bigotry and racism.
