Perspectives, Volume II: An Emergency Medicine and Public Safety Anthology
Officer M.O. Guest, dispatcher Brian Cameron and nurse Jennifer Cameron struggle with the emotional burden of a terrible call, powerless to share the details with their families. Paramedic Michael Morse, police officer Mike McElmeel and physician Shannon Altazon labor to save an alcoholic from herself. The public safety community is rocked when one of their own dies in the line of duty. Paramedic Chris Ebright, nurse Jeremy Myers, and physician Mike Smertka struggle with the aftermath of an unsuccessful resuscitation. You'll read these stories and more in Perspectives , a collection of stories told from the unique perspectives of its three authors. These events are not fictional, but they may have happened at different times, with different patients, at different places. Each one of the authors has had patients just like these, in situations just like those described. If you want to know what it’s like to live a day in the life of a paramedic, or a cop, a nurse, or a physician, you’ll enjoy reading Perspectives . It’s the same story. On the same night. With the same people. This is what we do, and working with quiet heroes like these is one of the reasons we do it.

Phenomenal
As a contributor to this volume I thought I knew what it was about. I was wrong. Another outstanding and emotional roller coaster put on by my fellow co contributors.

Almost too real
If you have ever worked in the world of first responders you’ll feel every one of these stories. Most are calls you have been on and one is a nightmare call we all hope never happens. You feel as if you know the characters and you know exactly where you would fit in at the scene.
If the world of emergency medicine and law enforcement is unfamiliar to you, read this book. It will give you a great view into the minds of the people that come running when you ask for help.
