Critical Care (Mercy Hospital, Book 1) Overviews
After her brother dies in a trauma room, nurse Claire Avery can no longer face the ER. She's determined to make a fresh start--new hospital, new career in nursing education--move forward, no turning back. But her plans fall apart when she's called to offer stress counseling for medical staff after a heartbreaking day care center explosion. Worse, she's forced back to the ER, where she clashes with Logan Caldwell, a doctor who believes touchy-feely counseling is a waste of time. He demands his staff be as tough as he is. Yet he finds himself drawn to this nurse educator . . . who just might teach him the true meaning of healing.

Critical Care (Mercy Hospital, Book 1) CustomerReview
At Sierra Mercy Hospital, the patients are not the only ones in need of healing.
Sounds like the lead-in for a television medical drama, doesn't it? I think that is what attracted me to Candace Calvert's novel Critical Care. I am a big fan of medical drama. It started with my parents--I can remember watching Trapper John, M.D. with Mom and Dad when I was a kid. The one must-see show for me now is Grey's Anatomy. The one drawback to that show, is the immoral behavior of the entire hospital staff. If hospitals are really run like the ones on TV.... WOW! I can't even imagine.
Sierra Mercy Hospital is a bit different. Sure, there are still romances among the staff members. In this book, the romance is based on mutual respect and shared experiences, rather than solely on physical attraction.
Calvert uses her extensive medical knowledge and years of health care experience to create believable characters, interacting in a realistic setting.
After a deadly explosion at a daycare center, the emergency room staff at Sierra Mercy find themselves in need of help. Not all of them are willing to admit to that need, though, let alone ask for it. That puts Claire Avery, the nurse educator assigned to provide stress counseling in the ER, and Dr. Logan Caldwell, the head of the emergency department, at odds. She is still dealing with a trauma from her own past, while he operates on the belief that problems need to be left outside the hospital.
I was captivated with this book from the first page. Though it was not on my official "must review" list, I couldn't put it down. Critical Care is the first Candace Calvert novel that I have read, but it will definitely not be the last.
