Episode 92: American Sirens with Kevin Hazzard
Kevin Hazzard is a paramedic and author who wrote the book A Thousand Naked Strangers, detailing his time as a ground paramedic in Atlanta. He's back with a new story, one that you absolutely need to read.
American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men who Became America's First Paramedics is the story of a handful of Black men from Pittsburgh who were chosen to become paramedics. It's a story about perseverance, grace under pressure, and dignity that every EMS clinician should read. We were lucky to have Kevin on to speak about the book and his experience in telling the story, and why it matters.
