ISBN-978-93-6175-438-8

Emergencies don’t wait. Paramedics racing toward the unknown — to the clock — to hope —
to the fragility of life itself — do neither. Code Blue: A Paramedic’s Fight to Survive Life or
Death Situations — A penetrating look into the lives of paramedics who devote their lives to
saving others, often in the most trying environments you could ever imagine
More than a collection of flashing lights and sirens, this reflects the split-second calls, the
burden of accountability, the cost of emotion in every step forward delivering medicine to
working at the tip of the spear. It’s in the silence in between the calls, in the friendships forged
in crisis, in the victories—large and small—that justify the sacrifices made.
In a combination of first-person narratives and commentary with medical experts, Code Blue
humanizes those behind the first responding uniform. What Paramedics offers readers is a
window into the chaos and compassion that (often) come to define paramedicine. If you are a
first responder, a wannabe medic, or just someone who appreciate these professional make
every possible effort to provide emergency medical care, this book will bring you out of the
bubble, to see the real deal in the most raw form.
At its heart, this book is a salute—to those who show up when they are needed. ─ No matter
when. No matter what the challenge.
