Book Review: Gutter Medicine: Twenty-six Years as a Firefighter Paramedic by Roger C. Huder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why did I read this book?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are working as a First Responder it is inevitable that people you meet ask for you to describe what it is like. After all my years in the field, I gave up on trying to convey what the street is like. I thought that maybe, somebody out there had found a way to write about it in a way that is getting close to what it really is like. While browsing books on Goodreads, I found this one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the book about?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The book tries to give the reader a feeling of what it is like to be working as a First Responder. Roger Huder describes not only his days as a Paramedic\/Firefighter but also explains how working in the field impacts our personal lives. He goes as far as to describe how the job changed him as a person, how you see the world differently once you have seen the \u201creal\u201d life out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Impressions.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I did like the book. My biggest issue was that I never focussed on the people that we could not save. Instead, I think that even saving only one life will make it all worthwhile. Saving that one life means having an impact on all the people close to him\/her. And all the people that will cross the person\u2019s path in the future. To me focussing on the ones we cannot save is not healthy.<\/p>\n

It was fun and entertaining to read another point of view when it comes to EMS\/Firefighting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who is this book for?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anybody remotely interested in the field of EMS\/Firefighting will enjoy reading this book. It can be brutally descriptive in some of the scenes, stay away if you don\u2019t like to get the \u201cdetails\u201d. I think that this book might be for you if you want to get as close as possible to understand how the job changes a person. It obviously has a different impact on all of us, but the way it changes how we see the world is quite similar for all of us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Memorable Quote<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStories from the street are not funny. People would ask me to tell them a funny story from work. When I tried, nobody would laugh but me. The stories that are funny to us are not funny to civilians.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
