Editorial Review: Product Description: Dial 911 and they are there: the Emergency Medical Technicians, first to arrive on the scene and your lifeline to the E.R. During those crucial few minutes, your life is in their hands. Now, from two veterans of an upstate New York volunteer EMT unit, here is a true, firsthand account of the daily traumas, tragedies, and triumphs behind the Lights and Siren. An accident victim trapped in the twisted metal of an automobile...the bloodied casualty of a gang war...a boater struck by lightning... a patient whose heart has stopped beating. Lloyd and Herman have seen it all and they tell it all: the sudden rush of adrenaline, the desperate search for a pulse, the long hours of training distilled into a split second decision that can determine a patient's fate. It's a world in which no two scenarios are the same, in which the only constants are the fight to save lives and the fear of losing them. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very GoodThis book depicts the EMTs at some of the most exciting moments. Light Hearted 'EMS Rules' to the dramatic chaos of crime make this a wonderful book. Tells you eveything a curious person wants to know- from what's required for a EMT to CPR during traumatic arrest. Most will enjoy it, I know I did.
