A True Firefighter's--Medic Book!:
I am a Firefighter/EMT from Kodiak, Alaska. This book reminds me of so many calls i've gone on. It describes how the job doesn't have all good outcomes, but when there are good outcomes it makes the job that much better. This book is a true representation of a firefighter and a Medics job. It only took a week to read since I was glued to it with interest.
