Historia
In the aftermath of 9/11, Kevin Hazzard felt that something was missing from his life - his days were too safe, too routine. A failed salesman turned local reporter, he wanted to test himself, see how he might respond to pressure and danger. He signed up for emergency medical training and became, at age 26, a newly minted EMT running calls in the worst sections of Atlanta. His life entered a different realm - one of blood, violence, and amazing grace.

Historia
Known as one of America's most dangerous cities, New Orleans plays host to incidents ranging from the tragic and disturbing to the completely bizarre - and during his career as an emergency medic, Jon McCarthy saw it all. He chronicles some of the most formative calls of his career in this autobiography that sounds like crime fiction. McCarthy demonstrates with detail and clarity that the difficult choice is often the right choice. While not for the faint of heart, each entry in this collection provides poignant insight into the bonds between medics and the people and city they serve.

Historia
My career as a firefighter/paramedic stretched from 1974 to 2000 when were inventing EMS as we went along. These are stories from those years on the street. That place I named so long ago, the other reality that exists just outside most people’s everyday lives. It is a place that seems to exist parallel to the normal workaday existence: yet it is only a car accident or cardiac away for any of us. It manifested itself in brushfires, house fires, shootings, stabbings, hangings, accidents with injuries, cardiacs, codes, drownings, and a thousand other emergencies.

Historia
As a seasoned paramedic and union leader, Anthony Almojera thought he could handle anything his job threw at him. Like many medical first responders, he came from a troubled background and carried the traumas of the city as well as its triumphs. He had grown up in the rough-and-tumble Park Slope of the 1980s, been homeless for a time, and had watched murder, addiction, and hopelessness consume those closest to him. But he had dedicated his life to helping people in need, and while every day was filled with tragedy—stabbings, shootings, accidents, suicides—it also brought moments of uplift.

But that all changed with Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh, a group of Black men who became America’s first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world, only to have their story and their legacy erased—until now.

Bad Call is Mike Scardino's visceral, fast-moving, and mordantly funny account of the summers he spent working as an "ambulance attendant" on the mean streets of late-1960s New York. Fueled by adrenaline and Sabrett's hot dogs, young Mike spends his days speeding from one chaotic emergency to another. His adventures take him into the middle of incipient race riots, to the scene of a plane crash at JFK airport and into private lives all over Queens, where New Yorkers are suffering, and dying, in unimaginable ways.

He helped save people every day - but he had no idea how to save himself. Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood - until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face-to-face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

Resumen del Editor
Nine months of tying tourniquets and pushing new medications, of IVs, chest compressions, and defibrillator shocks - that was Kevin Grange's initiation into emergency medicine when, at age 36, he enrolled in the "Harvard of paramedic schools": UCLA's Daniel Freeman paramedic program, long considered one of the best and most intense paramedic training programs in the world.
Few jobs can match the stress, trauma, and drama that a paramedic calls a typical day at the office, and few educational settings can match the pressure and competitiveness of paramedic school. Blending months of classroom instruction with ER rotations and a grueling field internship with the Los Angeles Fire Department, UCLA's paramedic program is like a mix of boot camp and med school. It would turn out to be the hardest thing Grange had ever done, but also the most transformational and inspiring.
An in-depth look at the trials and tragedies that paramedic students experience daily, Lights and Sirens is ultimately about the best part of humanity - people working together to help save a human life.

Disgusting intellectual hazing by instructors.
The preceptors of this class should be held to task for their bullying behavior as described in this book. It creates an atmosphere of fear, apprehension and self doubt that has NO place in this environment. I've been a paramedic for over 40 years and was embarrassed and disgusted by the way in which the internship was described in this story, as well as the interaction with the students. We need to pass the torch to the next generation...not battle them to the death like some sort of gladiator sport. Just because it was done to the instructors does not mean it is a valid learning tool.
UCLA's paramedic program is rightfully losing a plethora of people who need a nurturing environment, not a military construct, to succeed. The internship program as described in this book resembles the hazing that is now forbidden and illegal within fire departments and elsewhere. Learning a proud profession in an environment that deliberately causes doubt and self-image issues should NOT be allowed. The preceptor program of LA County should be revised and brought into current learning models that support and nurture students to blossom and grow. There is no room for bullies and macho egomaniacs.

Awesome!
I really liked that I felt I was there with you. Also enlightening me on some of the things medics go through to even becoming a medic.

See You on the Other Side of the War
I forget how or when I found this book, but I imagine it was when I finished AEMT and was looking for more material to help me in the field. I was still somewhat new to audiobooks, so I think this might have been one of my first beginning to end reads. Since, I've listened to it multiple times over. I'm going to Paramedic school in a week and am finishing another reading of this book now. It feels like an achievement to know what causes what before the narrator does. If you want a break from your med text books, this is a good time passer while also keeping your eyes on the prize. I'm hoping one of my reads of this book, I'll also be a paramedic. It's a good read otherwise.

Enjoyed the journey through Paramedic school
As a former Paramedic student i found this book very enjoyable. Wish I listened to it before Paramedic school as it would give you an idea to the intensity of the program.

Well read and easy to follow. Great storytelling.
I've listened all the way through for the third time during my commute. It's just as interesting as the first time around.

Great book
This book gave me a look into the life of a future paramedic. I have a new appreciation of how difficult the training is. These guys are heroes for sure.
