A small-town cop, a paramedic and a nurse work feverishly to save the teenaged victims of a drunk driving accident. A medic sees himself in the face of an overdose victim and confronts his own demon of addiction as he, a cop and an ER nurse struggle to save just one victim of the opioid epidemic. A medic, a hospice nurse and a physician confront the issue of death with dignity when called upon to resuscitate a terminal cancer patient on Christmas morning. An ER doctor and a medic try to survive the coronavirus pandemic with their health, their humanity and their careers intact, with the help of the therapist treating them.
You'll read these stories and more in Perspectives, a collection of stories told from the unique perspectives of its three authors. These events are not fictional, but they may have happened at different times, with different patients, at different places. Each one of the authors has had patients just like these, in situations just like those described. If you want to know what it's like to live a day in the life of a paramedic, or a cop, a nurse, or a physician, you'll enjoy reading Perspectives.
It's the same story. On the same night. With the same people. This is what we do, and working with quiet heroes like these is one of the reasons we do it.
