What Could Possibly Go Wrong? is a report from the front line of emergency medicine, the first ever account of what it is like to work as an air ambulance doctor.

Book Synopsis Confessions of a Paramedic by : Sharon Holbert
Download or read book Confessions of a Paramedic written by Sharon Holbert and published by . This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Confessions of a Paramedic" is a roller coaster ride that takes the reader deep into the life of an EMT-Paramedic working in the rural southwest. This true story spans the author's exciting and dramatic thirty year career from volunteer EMT to professional Paramedic. The author captures the imagination of the trained professional as well as the non-medical reader. It's far more than a collection of interesting 911 calls. The author paints a picture in vivid detail, telling the patient's story as well as the impact on her own personal life. She tells of the excitement, danger, humor and the drama of life and death situations. She candidly shares her triumphs and failures. Her powerful stories are intense. They tell the story of real people and true events. This book has a personal aspect when she writes about juggling the duties of a wife, mother and her career. She speaks of the stress, responsibility and the challenge of holding someone's life in her hands. She weaves the story of unforgettable events and patients she can't forget.Experience Holbert's personal challenge when she arrived alone as a first responder to a motor vehicle accident and found one of three patients to be her own seriously injured husband. Travel with her to the remote four corners area as she tells of being stranded in an ambulance during a snowstorm with a dying patient. Stand beside her in the middle of a debris covered rural highway were a pickup had just rolled only minutes before and threw eleven people to the four winds. The four adults, five children (none over six years old) and two tiny babies lay scattered on the highway seriously injured. The carnage was unbelievable as she stood there, alone, the only EMT. As Rescue Chief for a rural fire department, she was crossed trained in firefighting. The author brings to life the excitement of fighting a fire, witnessing flashover and pulling a man from a burning trailer. She tells of how it feels to be Incident Command of a large fire. Share her personal hell as she ordered her husband into the burning building that contained flaming tires and smoldering five gallon propane tanks. If the 6,000 gallons of propane in the tanker truck and the thousand gallon propane tank engulfed in fire exploded half the town, the entire fire department, and she would die in a blaze of glory. Paramedic Holbert opens up the world of a paramedic providing 911 emergency service in the remote southwest where resources are limited, backup is only wishful thinking, and the job still has to be done. The term "Rural" takes on a different meaning when your service area covers 2,500 square miles and you are the only game in town.

Book Synopsis When Seconds Count by : Jay A. Humphrey
Download or read book When Seconds Count written by Jay A. Humphrey and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't help but have the feeling that there will come a future generation of men, if there are any future generations of men, who will look at old pictures of helicopters and say, "You've got to be kidding." Helicopters have that look that certain machines have in historical drawings. Machines or devices that came just before a major breakthrough. Record-changers just before the lightweight vinyl LP for instance. Mark Twain once noted that he lost belief in conventional pictures of angels of his boyhood when a scientist calculated for a 150-pound men to fly like a bird, he would have to have a breast bone 15 feet wide supporting wings in proportion. Well, that's sort of the way a helicopter looks. The thing is helicopters are different from airplanes. An airplane by its nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or incompetent piloting, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other. And if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter. That's why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot, and why in generality airplane pilots are open, clear-eyed, buoyant, extroverts. And helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble. They know if something bad has not happened, it is about to. --Harry Reasoner, 16 February 1971 ABC News commentary, "Helicopter Pilots Are Different"

Book Synopsis The Paramedic at Work by : Leo McCann
Download or read book The Paramedic at Work written by Leo McCann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ambulance services and paramedics perform critical roles in contemporary healthcare economies. Trained to work in the field and respond rapidly to emergencies, societies have come to increasingly rely on ambulance services to deliver urgent care. Never has this need been more acute than in recent years given intense social inequality, overstretched and underfunded health systems, and deadly pandemics. Leo McCann offers the first book-length study of the paramedic profession in England. Based on in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation, The Paramedic at Work provides a detailed account of the complex realities of work in this fascinating occupation. Chapters explore the nature of work 'out on the road', the peculiarities of ambulance organizational culture, the intensity of workplace stress and burnout, and the current and future trajectory of paramedic professionalism. The book documents the unique paradoxes experienced by those employed in this line of work. Ambulance staff are trained to handle life-threatening trauma and disease, but most callouts consist of unplanned primary care. Paramedic work features wide autonomy but is also bound into an array of micromanaging performance indicators. Paramedics are trusted and respected in society but the profession is poorly understood and employers can be unsupportive. However, no matter how intense the personal struggles can be, paramedic work also offers rare opportunities for meaningful and socially valued work. This book shows that the role and status of the paramedic is rapidly moving from a manual occupation rooted in first aid and transportation, to a clinical profession of increasing scope, versatility, and social respect.
