Summary

A paramedic story that takes places in the wild and sheds a never-seen-before light on wilderness medicine, our national parks, and conflicts that arise between tourism and protecting the land

Wild Rescues is a fast-paced, firsthand glimpse into the exciting lives of paramedics who work with the National Park Service: a unique brand of park rangers who respond to medical and traumatic emergencies in some of the most isolated and rugged parts of America. In 2014, Kevin Grange left his job as a paramedic in Los Angeles to work in a response area with 2.2 million acres: Yellowstone National Park. Seeking a break from city life and urban EMS, he wanted to experience pure nature, fulfill his dream of working for the National Park Service, and take a crash-course in wilderness medicine. Between calls, Grange reflects upon the democratic ideal of the National Park mission, the beauty of the land, and the many threats facing it. With visitation rising, budgets shrinking, and people loving our parks to death, he realized that - along with the health of his patients - he was also fighting for the life of “America’s Best Idea”.

Super and interesting story very well told. A little heaven on the Americanisms but doesn’t detract.

Great book

I found this an interesting and honest account of responding to emergencies in remote settings. Probably not for the squeamish it details the multitude of ways humans conspire to injure themselves and the lengths people go to in order to rescue them.
Really easy to listen to.

Fascinating insight into Emergency care.

Such an interesting collection of rescues as well as learning about what makes Kevin Grange tick as he travels and works in the great national parks of America.

All the rescues are explained so well and it would be invaluable if you are travelling in these areas to listen to these stories and learn what to do and not to do and also what the essentials you need to travel safely in the parks.

Invaluable lessons
