Then she came to Bellevue. For nine eventful years, Dr. Holland was the weekend physician in charge of the psychiatric emergency room at New York City's Bellevue Hospital. In this absorbing memoir, Holland recounts stories from her vast case files that are alternately terrifying, tragically comic, and profoundly moving: the serial killer, the naked man barking like a dog in Times Square, the schizophrenic begging for an injection of club soda to quiet the voices in his head, the subway conductor who helplessly watched a young woman pushed into the path of his train. Writing with uncommon candor, Holland supplies not only a page-turner with all the fast-paced immediacy of a TV medical drama but also a fascinating glimpse into the inner lives of doctors who struggle to maintain perspective in a world where sanity is in the eye of the beholder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eWeekends at Bellevue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"An extraordinary insider's look at the typical days and nights of that most extraordinary place, written with a rare combination of toughness, tenderness, and outrageous humor.\"\u003cb\u003e--Andrew Weil, M.D. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Unforgettable . . . tells a mean story.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eNew York Daily News \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The tension between  Holland's] macho swagger and her shame at the harsh way she occasionally treats patients gives this memoir extra intrigue.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003ePsychology Today \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A fascinating portrait . . .
