From Goodreads:
A former paramedic’s visceral, poignant, and mordantly funny account of a decade spent on Atlanta’s mean streets saving lives and connecting with the drama and occasional beauty that lies inside catastrophe.
I thought I'd step into the life of an EMT/paramedic. Unfortunately, I think I have been permanently scarred! I will NEVER look at an ambulance or the paramedics inside the same way. 😟 My emotions ran the gamut, but centralized on how perplexed I was regarding the attitude of the author. He wasn't a horrible person or anything like that, BUT he definitely didn't have the same nature as I do. What he said was more disturbing than funny. I do believe I giggled once, though. HOWEVER, it does take a special kind of person to deal with and perform the duties emergencies require that arise in the medical field. What's gross or appalling for some is intriguing and compelling to others. I get that. And thank goodness for them. I'm just looking at them with a little skepticism these days.
