Riding the lightning : a year in the life of a New York City paramedic / Anthony Almojera.
As a seasoned paramedic and union leader, Almojera thought he could handle anything the job threw at him. He and his fellow medics believed that they were prepared for the challenge of the strange new virus spreading in New York. They were wrong, and soon New York's EMS workers were pushed to the breaking point--and beyond. Here Almojera tells the story of New York City's darkest days, through the eyes of its frontline medical workers and the community they serve.-- Adapted from jacket.
