Kevin Hazzard's 2016 book, "A Thousand Naked Strangers", was described to me as "Kitchen Confidential" for paramedics. An insider's account of one of the hardest, most traumatic jobs in America, an EMT. We dive into the world of first responders to hear some harrowing stories of heroism, resilience, and outright horror. Kevin talks in depth about how paramedics cope mentally with what they see. He speaks of the necessity of dehumanizing patients and compartmentalizing trauma with gallows humor. This is summed up perfectly in the statement, "you have to think of humans as a plumbing problem that needs to be fixed". I don't think Anthony Bourdain ever said that!
