What does it really mean to be there for people on the worst days of their lives?
In From First Responder to Last Responder, Jaxon Incollingo takes readers behind the scenes of a career spent confronting emergencies, tragedy, death, and survival. Drawing from years of experience as an EMT and paramedic, followed by three years as a deputy coroner and later work as an emergency-room nurse, Jaxon shares some of the most unforgettable experiences of a life dedicated to helping others.
From devastating car accidents and suicide investigations to homicides, unexpected medical emergencies, unusual deaths, traumatic injuries, and the challenges of working through the COVID-19 pandemic, these stories reveal the realities that first responders encounter when the rest of the world is often at its most vulnerable.
But this is more than a collection of shocking emergency calls. Alongside the difficult cases are stories of compassion, resilience, humor, unexpected human connection, and lives that were saved. Jaxon also reflects on the personal challenges behind the uniform-including raising a family, overcoming difficult periods in life, changing careers after a serious back injury, and learning to heal from the emotional impact of traumatic experiences.
Through these deeply personal accounts, From First Responder to Last Responder offers an honest look at what happens before, during, and after the call-and at the people who answer when someone needs help most.
Raw, personal, and sometimes heartbreaking, this memoir is a tribute to the patients, families, coworkers, and fellow first responders who shaped Jaxon's life and career.
For anyone curious about the realities of emergency medicine, death investigation, first responders, and the human stories behind the 911 call, this is a journey you will not soon forget.
