Combining work at a trauma center in Toronto with work at Addis Ababa's largest university hospital, James Maskalic discovers that although these hospitals differ in many ways - cultural characteristics, availability of resources, medical problems - they also have one thing in common: this is the first floor, Where is the reception area located? It is here, on the first floor, that Maskalik meets face to face with his fears and doubts, with sorrow and joy, tragedies and hopes of patients, the fragility of life and the inflexibility of the human spirit. And yet, he has to get to know the history of “human life” most closely not in the role of a doctor, but in the role of a grandson caring for his ninety-year-old grandfather. This masterfully written and exquisitely structured book is more than an emergency physician's memoir. It's a reflection on health and sickness, and when to hold on tight to life and when it's time to let it go.
