First line

In November of 1988 when my boss, United States Senator Lowell Weicker, was defeated in his bid for a fourth term in office, I found myself at age thirty suddenly out work and at a loss about what to do with my life.

From the rear cover

In this unforgettable, dramatic account of one man's experience as an EMT, Peter Canning relives the nerve-racking seconds that can mean the difference between a patient's death and survival, as Canning struggles to make the right call, dispense the right medication, or keep a patient's heart beating long enough to reach the hospital. As Canning tells his graphic, gripping war stories -- of the lives he saved and lost; of the fear, the nightmares, and the constant adrenaline-pumping thrill of action -- we come away with an unforgettable portrait of what it means to be a hero.
