Description: "Welcome to the life-and-death world of the paramedic--sometimes bloody, sometimes zany, but always gripping. The paramedic, or Emergency Medical Technician sees people at their best and worst, in situations at once gruesome and moving. When someone dials 911, EMT Kelly Grayson is there--to restart the heart that has stopped beating, deal with dangerously high blood alcohol levels, or pull a body from a mangled car wreck. ... He knows what it's like to be the first line of defense: picking up the pieces and saving lives--or, sadly, watching them slip away"--Cover p. 4.
