About this title

From the Author:

Many of you in EMS have already read this book, in both of the print versions released by Kaplan Publishers. I will always be grateful to Kaplan and its parent company, Simon & Schuster, for the opportunity they offered. It's not often that a first-time novelist is offered a contract with a major publisher, and for that I am thankful.

In this Author's Special Edition, I am happy to have restored the missing chapters from the Kaplan versions of this book. Looking back over the words I wrote in 2004, the temptation was great to rewrite great swathes of it. I believe I am a far more polished writer now. But ultimately, I left it unchanged; I wanted it to remain the words of a paramedic and fledgling writer simply telling his story, however unpolished and profane it may be.

Ultimately, I hope you enjoy it, raw as itis. This is an accurate chronicle of the paramedic and man I was, but not the paramedic and man I am now.

The story does not end here...
