Jennifer Murphy jumped into her memoir with everything she had---and what a truly remarkable story she has to tell. She won't want to be called a hero but she is one amazing woman with all of the things she has accomplished at such a young age. But what a story she has to tell --- you are right there with her as she describes, in incredible detail, her work as a volunteer (no less!) in the New York City EMT system. I really hated to finish this lengthy book. I want to just keep seeing what Jennifer does next. She has made her place on this earth worth her being here----how wonderful to know, without a doubt, that you have made a difference to so many in your lifetime. It's an uplifting book but also a warning about how terribly we treat the people who do the work of trying to keep people in trouble alive and functioning.

"One woman's incredible story of life on the front lines as an emergency medical worker in New York City. On the streets of New York City, EMTs and paramedics do more than respond to emergencies; they eat and drink together, look out for each other's safety, mercilessly make fun of one another, date one other, and, most crucially, share terrifying experiences and grave injustices suffered under the city's long-broken EMS system. Their loyalty to one another is fierce and absolute. As Jennifer Murphy shows in the gripping and moving First Responder, they are a family. A dysfunctional family, perhaps, but what family isn't? Many in the field of pre-hospital emergency care have endured medical trauma and familial hardship themselves. Some are looking to give back. Some are desperate for family. Some were inspired by 9/11. Still others want to become doctors, nurses, firefighters, cops, and want to cut their teeth on the streets. As rescuers, they never want people to die or get hurt. But if they are going to die or get hurt, first responders want to be there."--Amazon.com. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
