These are the trying, true stories of the mobile emergency medical
technicians who often are the only thing standing between any one of us
and death. Author Pat Ivey uses her extensive firsthand experiences, as
well as 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 who try to heal these heart-pounding predicaments are
put reverently on stage in this heroic, honest, and compassionate
compilation of true action adventures.
