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.
