<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>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. <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dr. Larry J. Miller practiced emergency medicine for more than 30 years in one of Texas' largest inner-city hospitals. Since training at Chicago's Cook County Hospital, where he earned the Intern of the Year Award in 1966, he has personally treated more than 130,000 emergency patients. He was chairman of the Emergency Departments of the 5 Baptist hospitals in San Antonio for more than 15 years and Medical Director for 10 EMS agencies in South Texas for more than 30 years. <p/>Dr. Miller was the founder and CEO of Vidacare Corporation, and the developer of the EZ-IO. Dr. Miller was granted more than 144 patents for Vidacare technology and received FDA clearance for 18 indications. Dr. Miller published over 27 research papers. He received the Innovation of the Year Award from the Wall Street Journal in 2008 for his development and commercialization of the EZ-IO and Medical Device Innovation of the Year from the Wall Street Journal in 2012 for his invention of OnControl. Dr. Miller earned the Humanitarian of the Year Award from the University of Michigan in 2017. Since selling his company to Teleflex in 2013 he has been practicing Urgent care medicine and provides faith-based medical missions in El Salvador and Spring Branch, Texas. <p/>Doctor Miller is one of the few practicing emergency physicians whose career spans the period from the uncontrolled bedlam, before EMS and paramedics came into existence, to today's structured, regimented, and often over-controlled medicine. Through this vast experience he has encountered some truly incredible situations. Dealing with them has given him a unique insight into the intense drama of doctor/patient encounters.
