Welcome to the life-and-death world of the paramedic—sometimes bloody, sometimes zany, but always gripping.
The paramedic, or Emergency Medical Technician sees people at their best and worst, in situations at once gruesome fend moving. When someone dials 911, EMT Kelly Grayson is there—to restart the heart that has stopped beating, deal with dangerously high blood alcohol levels, or pull a body from a mangled car wreck.
From ostrich attacks to heart-stopping rescues, the absurd to the raw, Grayson gives us a peek into the extremes of the EMT's hectic life. He knows what it's like to be the first line of defense: picking up the pieces and saving lives—or, sadly watching them slip away.
He shares his bemused insight into the human condition, and shows us what it's like to hold lives in his hands every day Be there with him as he makes a harrowing trip to the hospital with a pregnant woman during an ice storm. Meet the eccentric characters who populate the ambulances and ERs. See what happens when the ambulance door closes.
