TRUE LIFE-AND-DEATH DRAMA In taut, thrilling prose, Peter Canning has written a book that captures the rarely seen real world of emergency medicine. A seasoned paramedic who fights under enormous pressure to save lives, Canning trains new paramedics for the rigors of a nonstop, action-packed battle. From a four-month-old baby who has stopped breathing to a sixty-seven-year-old woman with a strange abdominal mass that threatens to explode--these are gripping true stories from the "ER on the streets."

I purchased this for the purpose of researching paramedics for my forthcoming novel. The reviews on Amazon were quite good, and I can see why - this is a fast read, filled with information and action. The author writes of his experiences as a paramedic in Hartford, Connecticutt. It's not glorifying, either. He gets all matter of fluid spewed on him, he's cussed out, and goes through a period of severe burn-out. Most EMTs are young, in part because they burn-out within a few years. There is medical terminology laced throughout but it's handled so that a layman can understand what's going on - which is exactly what I needed.

If you are fascinated by real emergency medicine, get this. ( )

...and then the wounded knight, Sir Urre, set him up weakly, and prayed Sir Launcelot heartily, saying: Courteous knight, I require thee for God's sake heal my wounds, for methinketh ever sithen ye came here my wounds grieve me not. Ah, my fair lord, said Sir Launcelot, Jesu would that I might help you; I shame me sore that I should be thus rebuked, for never was I able in worthiness to do so high a thing. Then Sir Launcelot kneeled down by the wounded knight... And then he held up his hands, and looked into the east, saying secretly unto himself: Thou blessed Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I beseech thee of thy mercy, that my simple worship and honesty be saved, and thou blessed Trinity, thou mayest give power to heal this sick knight by thy great virtue and grace of thee, but, Good Lord, never of myself. And then Sir Launcelot prayed Sir Urre to let him see his head; and then devoutly kneeling he ransacked the three wounds, that they bled a little, and forthwith all the wounds fair healed, and seemed as they had been whole a seven year. And in likewise he searched his body another three wounds, and they healed in likewise; and then the last of all he searched the which was in his hand, and anon it healed fair.
Then the King Arthur and all the knights kneeled down and gave thankings and lovings unto God and to his Blessed Mother. And even Sir Launcelot wept as he had been a child that had been beaten. - Le Morte d'Arthur, Sir Thomas Malory
