Scott Eberhart has worked 911 emergency services for over thirty-eight years. Come inside his ambulance and experience the exhaustion, raw emotion, fall off the chair humor and desperation that comes with the job. This is what it’s like as a paramedic over the long haul.
‘In this business, you do learn degrees of dead. There is almost dead, sorta dead, and kinda dead. Those you can do something about.’
‘Rescue workers are not immune to human suffering; they just have to wait until the horror is finished.’
‘In the ambulance, he beat back death, standing up, without a seatbelt, at seventy miles an hour.’
‘Heroism is showing up for the person who has no one.’
