Description
Seattle's Medic One: How We Don't Die In 1968, a pioneering emergency service was launched in Seattle, revolutionizing the way people received medical care outside hospitals. Dr. Leonard Cobb and Gordon Vickery, along with Dr. Michael Copass, created a system that would train hundreds of paramedics and save countless lives. This book tells the story behind Medic One, one of the country's first pre-hospital coronary care systems. It explores how this innovative approach to emergency medicine has had a lasting impact on Washington State and beyond. Written by Dr. Richard Rapport, an insider with firsthand experience of the program, Seattle's Medic One offers a unique look at the history and development of this groundbreaking service. By examining the early days of Medic One, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of emergency medical services in the United States.
