Is the Firefighter/Paramedic Experience For You?

I found this to be a fascinating and engrossing, very quick and easy listen which I finished in one day. Have you ever wondered if this career might be the one for you? Just what is it like to be a first responder? How does one mix medicine with fighting fires? What are the pros and cons? How does seeing the dead and dying and maimed on an almost daily basis affect your psyche? Can a responding paramedic go home and leave work at work? Which aspects of your life could be affected?

If you answered yes to some of these questions, download this audiobook and ride along with Roger Huder. Listen to how he was instrumental in starting this firefighter/paramedic program way back when, and how he spent twenty odd years in this line of work. Listen to how it affected him, to his philosophies, his experiences, his highs and lows, and you will be on your way to knowing if this is the job for you. Or maybe just knowing what a “day in the life” is like. This book is not just for curious job seekers; it should be fascinating to everyone.

Gutter Medicine is a well-written book and equally well-narrated listening experience. I highly recommend it if you are in the mood for a quick yet profound and compelling listen.
