A Thousand Naked Strangers: A Paramedic's Wild Ride to the Edge and Back by Kevin Hazzard was an interesting read. I wouldn't recommend it if you're squeamish with possible gory medical emergencies. There really weren't that many gross ones but the ones that were could be a pretty disgusting image in your head. I did "enjoy" reading the stories though. I put that word in quotes because it's weird to say that I enjoyed reading stories about medical emergencies. It was hard to consider some of them as they didn't all end well. However, I've always been curious about the odd and interesting things EMTs must see and do all day. This book was the answer to that curiosity. For example, one story was about a man that nailed his elbow to a wall... on purpose. I'll let you read the book to find out why. It's a book that shows a different side to life and was well written. If you are considering going into the field, I would definitely recommend you read this. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
