Frank Hyler is an emergency room physician in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the author of Blood of Strangers, The Laws of Invisible Things, and The Right to Thirst. His work has appeared in the Atlantic, The Georgia Review, Poetry, and many other publications. Jan Michalski Award Finalist. In the late '90s, a young Albuquerque physician published a collection of short stories that emotionally described the beginning of his career in the ER. Sincere and touching, the book "The Blood of Strangers" became a bestseller. Two decades later, Dr. Frank Hyler releases another account of his professional journey, this time from the perspective of a seasoned professional with 25 years of experience. In the sketches presented - touching, tragicomic, sometimes even surreal - Hyler reveals the harsh reality of doctors balancing on the brink of life and death. Describing the doomed, such as an Iraq vet with multiple splinters in his brain, and the desperate, such as a young woman who inserts a needle into her heart, the doctor assembles the puzzle of a life of human suffering and grace, completing the picture with episodes from his own fate. "Let There Be Light" offers a vivid portrait of the medical field that illuminates society at its most vulnerable and most sincere.
