Editorial Reviews

Product Description
These are the trying true stories of the mobile emergency medical technicians that often are the only thing standing between anyone of us and death. Author Pat Ivey uses her extensive first hand experiences and an unflinching eye for drama and detail to bring us the unheard tales of heroism and courage of the EMT units. She takes us into a hidden world of children in need, women seeking shelter from the storm of abuse and the realities of industrial accidents. A simple car crash turns into a Herculean effort, an epic struggle against the clock and against the odds. Tragic misfortunes that usually occur silently in everyday America and the men and women that try to heal these heart-pounding predicaments are put reverently on front stage in this truly heroic, honest and compassionate compilation of true action adventurers.

From the Inside Flap
For Emergency Medical Technicians, life is the biggest rush of all . . . .
A child suffers a seizure. A woman is beaten and abused. A driver is trapped in the twisted wreckage of an automobile accident. When tragedy strikes, the Emergency Medical Technicians are always the first to arrive on the scene -- bringing hope, comfort, and care to those for whom a split second can mean the difference between life and death.
Now EMT instructor Pat Ivey takes us into the hearts and minds of one volunteer rescue squad. These are the men and women who put themselves on the line in the face of overwhelming odds, who treat -- without reservation or bias -- the victims of shotgun blasts, psychotic episodes, and deadly diseases. Share in their courage, commitment, and compassion in this thrilling, heartbeat-by-heartbeat account of life on the cutting edge of emergency medicine. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book makes us look bad., June 15, 2002
By A Customer
I'm an EMT in one of the top rated systems in the world. This book, is not the best I've read. Although Pat and Ed are outstanding EMT's, they make the job sound like you just drive there, get on-scene and be a cowboy. I disagree with the reputation they give all public safety personnel.

4.0 out of 5 stars written by an excellent EMT, June 23, 2000
By William H. Gallagher (Orange County NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Alot of good stories involving EMT's in this one. Ivey tells of her experiences in a touching way. How her work affected not only her, but, her friends and family. Alot of good stuff. My hats off to all volunteer EMTs of the world. I'm also going to look for her 1st, EMT.

5.0 out of 5 stars A realistic overview of rural rescue squad participation., February 19, 1999
By A Customer
I read this, the second of Pat's books, first. I was then compelled to go back and read her first book also. Beyond the glamor and dangers of big city rescue squad operations is the more personal type of work provided by the rural squads. This book as well as her first one capture the essence of these operations well. I am a rescue squad volunteer today because of these books. I have in fact run many calls with Pat and she really is the loving, caring person you would expect from the flavor of her books. Well worth reading for anyone with a concern for others even if they don't go on and become a volunteer themselves.
