I am halfway through the incredible EMS Memoir, “1000 Naked Strangers” by Kevin Hazzard.”
You can read an excerpt, the prologue, on EMS1. And check on this news story and interview with Hazzard.
Note: I am reading a copy sent to me by the publisher. Purchase “A Thousand Naked Strangers” from Amazon, other booksellers, or look for it at your library.
EMTs poems on patients using drugs
RJ Walker, the former EMT who wrote this powerful poem about a pediatric cardiac arrest incident, is also the author of a series of poems titled “Anatomy of an Overdose.” Purchase the pamphlet of poems from Walker’s website. Each poem details a different type of overdose patient he treated.
