Hopefully most of us will never need an ambulance, but we might be curious about what’s inside this very special vehicle. From the time the siren begins sounding and the lights are flashing, to the time the ambulance arrives at the hospital E.R. with a patient, much happens inside. The equipment and procedures are described, and one gets a clearer view of an emergency medical technician’s (E.M.T.) critical role in helping the person who is sick or injured. Color photos depict female as well as male E.M.T.s  Includes glossary and index.
