Produktbeschreibung
The Quiet After the Sirens is a raw, unflinching memoir that pulls readers past the flashing lights and frantic calls into the silence no one talks about-the moments when the adrenaline fades, but the memories remain. Told through the eyes of a frontline EMT, this powerful narrative lays bare the hidden cost of life in emergency medicine. Richard White takes readers from chaotic scenes and split-second life-or-death decisions to the long nights haunted by what couldn't be saved. The sirens may stop, but the echoes-nightmares, hypervigilance, and the weight of unseen scars-linger long after the stretcher is rolled away. This is not just a story about the calls answered; it's about the aftermath-the burden carried home, the relationships strained under invisible weight, and the quiet spaces where resilience is tested. It's about the battles fought in silence, the cracks that trauma leaves behind, and the courage it takes to keep showing up shift after shift. With gripping honesty and a voice forged by lived experience, Richard White examines trauma, resilience, and the fragile gratitude that sometimes keeps you moving forward. The Quiet After the Sirens is both a tribute to first responders and a deeply human story of survival, purpose, and healing in the wake of darkness.
