Every year, around the globe, hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and a host of other disasters devastate the lives of millions. But upon notice of a catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans or the tsunamis in Indonesia, physicians, nurses, and EMTs go into action to save lives. In To the Rescue, those closest to the scene of disaster share intimate tales from the frontlines about the people they meet and the remarkable obstacles they must confront in order to care for patients under extraordinary circumstances. To the Rescue provides a fascinating journey into the hearts and minds of the people around the world who save and care for the millions who are affected every year by extreme situations. Heartwarming and inspiring, these are stories readers won't soon forget. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I got this collection for free for the Kindle and went through it pretty quick. Basically it's just motivational stories about people who help others during disasters and why they serve. Some stories were not very well written, but some were very good and I really enjoyed them. I really liked the story about the nurse who was also a clown and the one about the doctor who was not prepared at all for the hurricane. Brief, but good. 3 stars. ( )
