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. 650 0 $a Autobiographies. 650 0 $a Emergency medical technicians $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 650 0 $a Emergency medical services $z New York $z New York $v Biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220427010125.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210417010651.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4DBADE2C9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
