The Pride of the Hills: A Vollie's Memoir


Overview

She's gone. No pulse, no breathing, and cold as an ice cube, I replied while reluctantly withdrawing my hand. Turning around and away from her, my eyes fell on the scene at the end of the basement. Along the wall were roughly a dozen men. All of them had their arms above their heads with their palms pressed against the concrete wall. Their feet were spread apart. Their heads were hung in either shame or fear. None of them were fully clothed. Some were missing their shirts, some were missing their pants, and one of them was completely naked.... Lace up the boots with an authentic 20-year EMS volunteer in one of the world's biggest EMS systems, New York City. Going from a bumpy start in the service, through to those teenage rebellion years as a new provider running on calls for help, and culminating to a point of maturity often never reached in an industry known for eating its enthusiastic young with an astronomically high burnout rate. Ride along to discover what it's like to be an EMS provider, plunge head first to unlock the secrets of a misunderstood EMS system, and discover the shocking truth about who's winning the life and death struggle that human nature declares we wage in the quest for immortality.
