Ep. 17 Samuel & Christian Adams: Authors of “Life and Death Matters: Professionalism and Decision-Making for the First Responder; How Paramedics Act Decisively in the Chaos of Prehospital Emergency Medicine”
Today on the Medic Up! Podcast I have Christian and Samuel Adams who are identical twin brothers and that wrote a book titled: “Life and Death Matters: Professionalism and Decision-Making for the First Responder; How paramedics act decisively in the chaos of Prehospital emergency Medicine. Sam and Christian Adams are identical twin brothers. They have over 20 years of experience responding to 911 calls. They both love working as firefighter/paramedics for the Colorado Springs Fire Department and they fervently believe in providing the highest quality patient care to the citizens of Colorado Springs.
This book is a MUST READ for the paramedic student, newly certified paramedic trainee, established paramedic, paramedic student preceptor and paramedic field training officer. “Life and Death Matters..” bridges the gap between didactic knowledge taught in initial paramedic education and “real life.” Sam and Chris do an OUTSTANDING job of presenting principles to make you a better learner, leader and person!
