Emergency room doctor Farzon Nahvi’s beautifully written memoir takes place during one of his routine shifts at an urban ER. Centered on the riveting story of a seemingly healthy forty-three-year-old woman who arrives in the ER in sudden cardiac arrest, “Code Gray” weaves in stories that explore everything from the early days of the Covid outbreak to the perennial glaring inequities of our healthcare system. “Code Gray” places the reader directly in the crucible of urgent life-or-death decision-making, offering insights that can help us cope at a time when the world around us appears to be falling apart. Books available for purchase from Left Bank Books.
