Summary
In Into the Breach, J.A. Karam pulls readers deep into the chaotic, emotionally charged world of emergency medical services in New York City. Chronicling his year as a paramedic, Karam’s memoir is both a gripping ride-along and an intimate portrait of life on the medical frontlines. Through frenetic nights, heartbreaking calls, and moments of unlikely humor, Karam reveals what it's like to stand between life and death in a city that never sleeps. More than a memoir, this is a raw, unfiltered exploration of humanity at its most vulnerable—and the resilience of those sworn to protect it. His writing, spare yet lyrical, captures the adrenaline, fear, compassion, and duty that define every shift. A must-read for fans of Bringing Out the Dead and Emergency, this book honors the unsung heroes who venture into the breach each day.
