I read the sequel to Paramedic about two months ago, and this first book is much of the same. This is part of my continued research for my novel. I've been reading so much about EMS that it's starting to creep into my dreams.[return][return]Peter Canning was a speechwriter with powerful connections throughout the northeast and Washington D.C. However, he gave up his big paycheck and nice office to go and work on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut, as a paramedic. He sees many of the same drunks day to day, is frustrated with the system, and every now and then makes a big save that makes everything worthwhile. For my selfish purposes, I wish he had gone into more details about some of the mundane details of dispatches and paperwork, but it still provides me with many ideas.
