LIVING AND DYING IN BRICK CITY

Sampson Davis

This engaging narrative is Dr. Davis’ story of his return to Newark, New Jersey as an emergency room resident at the very medical center where he was born, as well as an investigation into the medical problems that are endemic to inner-city communities.

Through riveting personal anecdotes interwoven with medical stories from the front lines of an inner-city emergency room, Davis provides a never-before-seen look at urban healthcare in America, presenting not only the issues but also the complicated lives behind the statistics.

Dr. Sampson Davis is an emergency medicine physician in Newark, NJ, and a motivational speaker. Along with George Jenkins and Rameck Hunt he is the co-author of the New York Times best-selling books THE PACT, WE BEAT THE STREET, and THE BOND, as well as the co-founder of The Three Doctors Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on health, education, leadership, and mentoring.

Comments

This book just might save your life. Sampson Davis shares fascinating stories from the ER and addresses the inner-city health crisis. His book is an important investment in your most valuable resource: your health.

This book is living proof that behind the boarded up windows of one of America’s most neglected cities, beyond the sorrow and pain, there is much more than we’ve come to expect. There is hope. There is change. There is redemption for Brick City. The book will open your eyes to a part of the world that most of us only see from behind the wheel of a tightly locked car. Sampson Davis is not afraid to lift heavy objects in this world. I’m glad he shared his journey with us, so that we know it is possible.
