The Casino Shift
Stories from an ER on the Edge
Book • 2026
The Casino Shift offers a raw, revealing look at life in a busy Canadian ER during turbulent times, focusing on a shorter 'casino shift' night.
Despite advances in technology and expertise since Brian Goldman's The Night Shift fifteen years ago, patient cases have grown exponentially more complex.
Through stories of diagnosing rare conditions like auto-brewery syndrome, uncovering untreated cancer in young patients, and navigating waiting room medicine, the book captures the exhaustion and passion of ER staff who solve puzzles and save lives under unrelenting pressure.
