If King’s On Writing is the definitive must-read for authors, then Hazzard’s A Thousand Naked Strangers is the same for EMTs, paramedics, and anyone who wants to see a decade-long emergency medicine career from inception to burnout. Hilarious, touching, and often thought-provoking, A Thousand Naked Strangers follows a fledgling EMT through a series of cases so bizarre they have to be true. From the early days on a private bus to later days as part of Grady’s elite, nothing about Hazzard’s harrowing experiences will make you want to do this job (unless you’re an adrenaline junkie or that rare breed with whom medicine clicks). I hail from a fifteen year medical field career myself, having known my share of second-guessers, “tourists,” burnouts, and near-killers. A fantastic true-to-life telling of one of the most underappreciated occupations, I wish I could give A Thousand Naked Strangers ten stars. A must-read, can’t-put-it-down page-turner because though the author may have been a paramedic, he’s also one hell of a storyteller.
