Overview

They call it just one more shift. As if it's temporary. As if it doesn't accumulate. As if nothing ever follows you home. One More Shift is a powerful, unflinching book about emergency medical services, loss, and the quiet cost of staying in a job that never truly lets go. Written from inside EMS, this is not a how-to manual or a collection of war stories. It is a reckoning with what happens when the job takes one of its own and keeps going anyway. When the radio goes silent. When the locker stays closed. When the calls don't stop out of respect. This book explores the lived reality of EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, nurses, and first responders who learn to function while grieving. It names what is often misdiagnosed as burnout and calls it what it really is: moral injury. It examines the culture of endurance, the myth of control, and the invisible weight carried home after shift change. Inside these pages are stories about: The calls that imprint forever The partners who become family The coworkers we lose quietly The system that normalizes what should never be routine This is a book about grief without spectacle. About endurance without praise. About the human cost of always being the one who shows up. One More Shift is for EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, nurses, dispatchers, and anyone who has ever worked under pressure while pretending it didn't change them. It is also for the partners, families, and loved ones who live alongside the job. This book doesn't offer easy answers. It offers recognition. If you've ever said ""just one more shift"" and meant it, this book already knows you.
