520    "What does it cost to live? When we fall ill, our lives 
       are itemized on a spreadsheet. A thousand dollars for a 
       broken leg, a few hundred for a nasty cut while cooking 
       dinner. Then there are the greater costs for even greater 
       misfortunes. The car accidents, breast cancers, blood 
       diseases, and dark depressions. When Emily Maloney was 
       nineteen she tried to kill herself. An act that would not 
       only cost a great deal personally, but also financially, 
       sending her down a dark spiral of misdiagnoses, years 
       spent in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices, and 
       tens of thousands owed in medical debt. To work 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, 
       chronicling these interactions in searingly beautiful, 
       surprising ways. Shocking and often slyly humorous, Cost 
       of Living is a brilliant examination of just what exactly 
       our troubled healthcare system asks us to pay, as well as 
       a look at what goes on behind the scenes at our hospitals 
       and in the minds of caregivers"--|cProvided by publisher.
