“Timely and nuanced, Farzon Nahvi’s exploration of healthcare probes the grayscale of life, from the most human of details to the overarching systemic issues. As we grapple with unprecedented challenges to both healthcare and society, we are ever more in need of clear-eyed books like Code Gray.”

– Danielle Ofri, MD, PhD, author of When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error

“A provocative and meaningful book, Code Gray takes us to the hard places in health care, where the ‘correct’ treatment choices can be impossible to know. Fortunately, Dr. Nahvi is caring and percipient. He is an amazing guide to the portal separating life and death, sickness and health, and the real world and the hospital--that is, the modern Emergency Department.”

– Theresa Brown, New York Times Bestselling author of Healing: When A Nurse Becomes a Patient and The Shift

“Farzon Nahvi creates a fast-moving primer in medical ethics and humanism while addressing many decisions made daily in the emergency room that are critical to life and well-being and always made with substantial uncertainty.”

– Lewis R. Goldfrank, Professor of Emergency Medicine, New York University Grossman School of Medicine; Attending Physician Bellevue Hospital Center

“A window into not only what happens in Emergency Departments and hospitals around the country but also into the intense feelings experienced by those involved. Dr. Nahvi expertly captures the humanity of caring for patients as well, the toll it takes on each of us and the machinations we desperately construct to survive. Code Gray is poignant and painful and an important read.”
