Seattle's Medic One - How We Don't Die

"In 1968, Dr. Leonard Cobb, along with Seattle fire chief Gordon Vickery, began to implement something new and daring: one of the country's first pre-hospital coronary care systems. Along with Dr. Michael Copass, they started Medic One, an emergency service unlike any other. One yeat later, the first vehicle equipped with a defibrillator and ten highly trained Seattle firefighters took to the streets. Medic One has trained hundreds of paramedics, added an emergency air transport service in four neighboring states, helped build a statewide emergency transfer system and saved countless lives."-- Back cover.
