FEATURED AUTHOR

One of the wildest work environments imaginable, emergency rooms give staff the joy and satisfaction of saving lives as well as the blow of pronouncing death just minutes apart. Each emergency room runs on adrenaline-fueled heroes working 24/7/365 to help patients. After thirty years in the field of medicine as a pediatric emergency physician, Gary Gerlacher has a lifetime of stories to share from his experiences. His books seek to capture the chaos and energy of life in the emergency room while seeking justice for traumatized patients. They feature a potent mix of emotion, action, and humor, as Doc and Banshee, his K9 sidekick, travel the country to meet new challenges in each work environment.

Gary is a serial entrepreneur in the healthcare space and lives in Dallas with his wife and two rescue dogs. He is currently working on opening a competitive cheer gym with his daughters (thoughts and prayers, please) and on managing a pediatric urgent care company. Last Patient of the Night, Faulty Bloodline, and Sin City Treachery are currently available on Amazon, and Deadly Equation releases on December 17. He hopes to have book five completed by the end of the year.
