Charles Bronson's Deadly Arsenal Collection

This book is about the haggard and frayed who work in emergency medical services, who either started out nuts or became that way in response to the crazy parade of the horrible, the insane, and the unexplained, who at some undefined point found themselves marching right along, if not as the Drum Major or licking the windows of the Grand Marshall's car, then as the drum.
It is about the EMTs' black humor, and the necessity to find humor in the bizarre, or in spite of the overwhelming nature of emergency calls, to avoid the weight of cumulative stress and burn-out.
Though the book is irreverent, and probably offensive to some, the intent is to show how black humor bonds the EMS professionals, let's them vent and serves as armchair therapy in the station, to remember that others have the same response-what 'normal' folks outside the field would find grossly inappropriate-is what bleeds off the madness and allows responders to cope and not isolate themselves.
