Rescue Paramedics: True-life stories of front line paramedics

His Body Convulsed as the charge rushed through his body. Oh my god, the kid's already blue, I thought. He's going to stay dead.

Requiring high levels of physical, mental, and emotional stamina, the paramedic's life is far from easy, and their world is often invisible to those outside it - until the worst happens. Whether it's climbing down a cliff to rescue a paraglider or trying to revive a child after a car accident while the terrified parents watch, paramedics strive day in and day out to save lives against the odds.

Brett Stevens, author of Rise of the Street Gangs and Real Cops, has spent decades working with those on the front line of emergency services. In Rescue Paramedics, he brings together some of the most dramatic, the most heartbreaking, the most unusual and the most inspirational stories of these incredible people and their lives dedicated to helping others in the most desperate of circumstances.
