Download or read book On My Way! written by Dan J McCann and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over a million firefighters in the United States. Over 650,000 of them are volunteers. This book is based on the experiences of one of those volunteers, Lieutenant Dan McCann. Lt. Dan is a 68-year-old retired university professor who has been fighting fires and responding to emergency medical calls in Eastern Washington State for over 27 years. In this book he describes emergencies he and his fellow volunteers have responded to in their ongoing efforts to help members of their rural community survive the worst day of their lives. Dan's stories describe what it's like to be a volunteer firefighter and EMT regularly subjected to the physical and emotional stress of responding to medical and fire emergencies at all hours of the day and night. Each emergency begins with the innocuous vibration of his pager, or the ding of a text message on his phone. But the cryptic messages on his pager or in his texts can be the start of challenging, tragic, and sometimes completely unexpected events that stay forever in the minds of Dan and his fellow firefighters. It's always an exciting ride for Dan and the crew at Station 96 that starts from the moment they send their response text "On My Way!" and ends when they return from the call to park their apparatus in the station truck bay. Sometimes they leave the station for home excited and proud of their accomplishments. Sometimes they leave numb and frustrated by the tragedy they have witnessed and shared. Dan McCann was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island. As a child, he often accompanied his dad, a career firefighter, to the local fire stations where he was free to climb on and over all the big smokey red fire trucks. These early experiences were, no doubt, one of the fundamental catalysts that ignited Dan's desire to serve as a volunteer firefighter. By reading this small collection of his stories you'll get a chance to see how that decision, made more than 27 years ago, has shaped the person he is today. Chapter by chapter you can ride along with Dan and the crew from Station 96 as they make their way from their kitchen tables, living room couches, or beds, to the center of other people's lives and emergencies, trying, again and again, to make differences that matter.
Download or read book Fire-Rescue 59 written by Alan J. Knoche and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most firefighters join the fire service when they are young-their teens or early twenties. Alan Knoche was an exception in that he joined when he was in his late thirties. He had a lot of catching up to do, but with life experiences in the Navy, the submarine service, and working at a nuclear power facility behind him, he quickly progressed from rookie to assistant fire chief. A top responder in a volunteer fire department that answered an average of two emergency calls a day, he fought fires, cut people out of crushed automobiles, and rescued victims from everything from a quarry collapse to a gumball machine. As an EMT, he also responded to thousands of medical and trauma calls and helped people who were experiencing the worst day of their lives. These stories relate some of the emergencies he faced on his "second job." They are gritty, often challenging, and sometimes sad, but actual life-threatening incidents are seldom pleasant. That's not to say it's all serious. The occasional humorous or comical event is what helps emergency responders cope with the catastrophic and tragic sights they see on a daily basis. The men and women he served with are some of the most dedicated, talented, resourceful, skilled, and sometimes insane people you could ever hope to show up when you're having your worst day. They made these stories possible.
Book Synopsis The Paramedic Mindset by : Leigh Anderson
Download or read book The Paramedic Mindset written by Leigh Anderson and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some people flourish in high-stress situations, while others feel overwhelmed or discouraged? How do some remain calm under pressure, where others succumb to stress? The difference is in mindset. When you have the skills and knowledge to stay in control, regulate your emotions and manage your reactions, even the most difficult circumstances become opportunities to excel, thrive and grow. But this quality - also known as poise - is not innate. It comes from preparation and practice. In this book, experienced paramedic Leigh Anderson: - shares true life-and-death stories from his career - explores the latest scientific research on mindset, stress and resilience - reveals his secrets for maintaining poise. The result is an arsenal of clear, effective and actionable tools that will boost your ability to perform under pressure. The Paramedic Mindset is essential reading for anyone who wants to face the challenges of life head on. PRAISE FOR THE PARAMEDIC MINDSET 'The Paramedic Mindset is a must-read book. Through the use of personal experiences, both his own and a range of subject matter experts, Leigh delivers an engaging, evidence-based, and practical book on not only how to survive under pressure, but how to flourish. At a time of skyrocketing mental health issues in our first-responder communities, The Paramedic Mindset offers the tools to turn the tide.' Dr Dan Pronk, co-author of The Resilience Shield, Special Forces veteran and Emergency Doctor 'Leigh Anderson has written: The. Definitive. Book. On this vital subject. I know of no other book that will provide this degree of lifesaving information to this vital audience. This book is "required reading" for all paramedics, and should be used as a textbook for training all medical first responders.' Lt Col Dave Grossman, USA (ret.), author of On Combat, On Killing, On Spiritual Combat, and Assassination Generation. 'Leigh has set out to describe the often confronting and challenging role of being a front-line emergency health care responder. A combination of apprehension, performance anxiety, satisfaction, and exhilaration! He most ably transcends his unique experiences, providing a bird's eye view of the "job", its challenges and how to cope. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in how to deal with a high-pressure environment.' Dr Stephen Rashford, Specialist Emergency Physician and Queensland Ambulance Service Medical Director 'Leigh pulls the curtains back on one of life's biggest skills: how to keep your mind when you should be losing your moorings. The mindsets and capabilities needed to be a top performer in any field are critical and not widely known - Leigh has bottled some of that magic in this hard-scrabbled account. Brilliant.' Mark Wales, Special Forces veteran, business CEO, author of Survivor and winner of Australian Survivor TV show

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Theresa Caputo, star of Long Island Medium and Raising Spirits provides a guide to overcoming grief, filled with inspiring lessons from Spirit and astonishing stories from the clients who have been empowered and healed by her spiritual readings. After more than a decade of being a practicing medium, Theresa Caputo shares the powerful lessons she has learned about grief, healing, and finding happiness in the wake of tragedy. In almost every reading she gives, Spirit insists that people begin to embrace their lives again. But not everyone knows where to start, and putting back together the pieces of a life marked by loss is never easy. Sometimes, you need spiritual guidance—and that’s where Theresa comes in. With her energetic, positive, and encouraging tone, Theresa uses the lessons from Spirit to guide you through grief toward a place of solace and healing. Each lesson is grounded in her clients’ experiences of losing loved ones, their encounters with Spirit during readings, and the ways in which they’ve been able to heal and grow. Each chapter is filled with activities to help you find your “new normal”—including journaling, individual and group exercises, meditations, and moments of reflection—based on the truths that Theresa has gathered from Spirit. Good Grief—“an excellent resource for those who wish to be in communication with deceased loved ones” (Library Journal)—will help you to feel stronger and more optimistic about what the future has in store for you.

Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Firefighter/Paramedic by : Bruce Zamelsky
Download or read book Memoirs of a Firefighter/Paramedic written by Bruce Zamelsky and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has more than twenty years of real-life incidents and was written for two reasons. I want those who are just starting in this profession and also those who have many years' experience, both paid and volunteers, to understand the roller coaster of emotions they will experience. The other reason for writing this book is to try to explain to the general public what emergency responders go through and the many different emotions we experience. We are not robots- we are just like you. We are your neighbors, your teachers, and your friends. Every one of us has dedicated a tremendous amount of time and energy in preparing to be there in your time of need. It is our privilege and we love to do it. Everything I talk about in the book is real; there are no fabricated stories or sensationalizing to make the incidents sound more dramatic. They are written truthfully, as they happened, and the emotions are genuine. I hope this book sheds some light on the courageous and extraordinary people that work and volunteer in these professions and the challenges they face.

Download or read book Just Doing My Job written by James Knight and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUST DOING MY JOB is a journey into the lives of the men and women behind the uniform – the cops, firies and ambos. It is an exploration of humanity and the human spirit. Imagine what it must be like to attend a fatal accident in which you know the victim; or to pull a baby out of a fire who is dressed in the same style of pyjamas that your child wears; or to have to knock on a stranger’s door and tell a wife that her husband has been murdered, while in the background, her children are preparing for a slumber party. You may be called on to deliver a child or to help a family cope with the disappearance of a beloved son. At other times a day at work may find you chasing a naked man through a five-star resort; being escorted through a seedy establishment by a six-foot-four transvestite; or assisting a drunken woman who has somehow fallen into a shopping trolley and become stuck. Every day there is a possibility of being shot at, spat at, punched, verbally abused, or hugged and cheered ... The diversity of situations and emotions is surely as great as any person in any line of work ever experiences. JUST DOING MY JOB tells the stories of the unsung heroes of our emergency services. Those who are just doing their job, protecting us, saving us, serving us. Most of us see nothing more than the uniform. These are snapshots of lives and events that will give the reader a better understanding of the men and women behind the uniform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physically Touched by God is an autobiography spanning sixty years in the life of William Vitterelli. The book starts with a vision at the age of twelve. These visions would become a common occurrence throughout his life, and thinking these were normal, he never paid attention to his gift. His goal in life was simple: Material things meant little to him. What meant a lot was to be like his father and to have a loving wife and family. This is a love story. He failed at two marriages and felt God had denied him his dream; however, his third and unexpected relationship exceeded all expectations. Both parties needed help and aided one another. Their union led to excitement and adventure, though health issues dominated the latter part of their marriage. The exceedingly high cost of health care pushed them close to poverty. Despite their problems, love and happiness prevailed. William never realized his whole life was guided by God. What happens next will surprise and astound you.

Download or read book Wild Rescues written by Kevin Grange and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kevin Grange details nearly everything that possibly could go wrong in a national park and yet still manages to make you more excited than ever to hit the trail." —Conor Knighton, New York Times bestselling author of Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park Wild Rescues is a fast-paced, firsthand glimpse into the exciting lives of paramedics who work with the National Park Service: a unique brand of park rangers who respond to medical and traumatic emergencies in some of the most isolated and rugged parts of America. In 2014, Kevin Grange left his job as a paramedic in Los Angeles to work in a response area with 2.2 million acres: Yellowstone National Park. Seeking a break from city life and urban EMS, he wanted to experience pure nature, fulfill his dream of working for the National Park Service, and take a crash-course in wilderness medicine. Grange's epic journey took him to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Teton National Parks where, among other calls, he battled to save the lives of a heart attack victim at Old Faithful, a hiker who'd fractured his skull below Yosemite Falls, and a snowmobiler who launched into a deep gorge in the shadow of the jagged Tetons. Grange was initially overwhelmed—and out of his element—providing patient care in an extreme environment with limited resources and a two-hour drive to the nearest hospital. But he came to enjoy the challenges and steep learning curve of wilderness medicine. Between calls, Grange reflects upon the democratic ideal of the National Park mission, the beauty of the land, and the many threats facing it. With visitation rising, budgets shrinking, and people loving our parks to death, he realized that—along with the health of his patients—he was also fighting for the life of "America's Best Idea."
