About this listen
- Dr. Tiff Bombard, Emergency Room Physician
Ever wonder what it’s like to be an EMT? Come on author Chris Treece’s ambulance ride. Experience his first frightening call, do CPR on a clammy chest, experience driving an ambulance (it’s fun!), train to be a crew chief, get used to gruesome death, meet the tragic people he could not help and the people who helped him – like the pretty cop who saved him from an assault. Discover his joys of ‘rescue dating’ and all-night parties of EMTs, cops and firemen. Finally, experience the growth of a young man whose education on the streets made him stronger and wiser than his years.
Author Chris Treece was taught the EMT class by Emergency Care co-author Michael O’Keefe, a fellow member of his ambulance squad. After Treece’s EMT years, he worked as a journalist, Emmy-award winning PBS TV producer, a Hollywood screenwriter and a marketing director. He has the rare experience and ability to tell his wild tales. Climb aboard!

He helped save people every day - but he had no idea how to save himself. Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood - until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face-to-face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well.

As a seasoned paramedic and union leader, Anthony Almojera thought he could handle anything his job threw at him. Like many medical first responders, he came from a troubled background and carried the traumas of the city as well as its triumphs. He had grown up in the rough-and-tumble Park Slope of the 1980s, been homeless for a time, and had watched murder, addiction, and hopelessness consume those closest to him. But he had dedicated his life to helping people in need, and while every day was filled with tragedy—stabbings, shootings, accidents, suicides—it also brought moments of uplift.

Emily Craig has been a witness to history, helping to seek justice for thousands of murder victims, both famous and unknown. It’s a personal story that you won’t soon forget. Emily first became intrigued by forensics work when, as a respected medical illustrator, she was called in by the local police to create a model of a murder victim’s face. Her fascination with that case led to a dramatic midlife career change: She would go back to school to become a forensic anthropologist - and one of the most respected and best-known “bone hunters” in the nation.

Get in the Know
The author gives complete yet concise accounts of his experiences and journeys throughout his life. He’s a special person who really cares about his patients, coworkers, friends and family. Mr. Tweece gives you a real behind the scenes view of what he experienced, giving the listener “the scoop”. His advice to others is spot on. It made me have more appreciation for our fellow first responders. Enjoy!
