Nonfiction e-Book-of-the-Month, April 2002. A CHILD, suffering a seizure. A woman, abused and beaten. A man, trapped in the wreckage of an automobile accident. Tragedy strikes, and a split second can mean the difference between life and death; and often, the first ones there - bringing care, comfort, and hope - are the Emergency Medical Technicians. Now, author and EMT Instructor Pat Ivey uses her extensive first hand experience and an eye for drama and detail to bring us into the hearts and minds of one volunteer rescue squad. 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. These are stories of the heroes 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.
