And she explains the inherent and enraging injustices embedded in the medical establishment as we know it today. Harper tells us how a childhood marked by violence prepared her for the ER: how she instinctively assesses levels of danger in any situation, how she brings her full humanity to work, with all the sensitivities and perspective that entails, how she handles sometimes fraught relationships with colleagues, students, and law enforcement while practicing her profession.
