Summary:
"Emily Maloney knows what it costs to survive in America. At nineteen, scraping her way through odd jobs to pay for a college degree, she is hospitalized for a suicide attempt. The act would cost a great deal not only personally but also financially, sending her down a spiral of misdiagnoses and tens of thousands owed in medical debt. To pay off this crippling burden, Emily becomes an emergency room technician, doing the grunt work in a hospital, and taking care of patients at their most vulnerable moments and chronicling these interactions in beautiful, surprising ways. Her own struggles are reflected back at her in the sterile corridors full of hospital beds and the endless stream of patients, who are treated more as customers with price tags than people to be healed. Shocking and often slyly humorous, Cost of Living is the deeply personal story of a patient and caregiver that shows the true price we all pay to live."-- Provided by publisher.
