My husband and co-author James D. Macdonald got bored the other day – he’s also an EMT, and he was sitting around the ambulance HQ waiting for somebody in their area of operations to have chest pains or run their car into a tree, but nobody did – so he wrote this.
(This also explains why, in our collaborations, he’s usually the plot wrangler and I’m the prose wrangler. The secret to picking a good collaborator is locating one who thinks that the stuff you find difficult is actually easy, and vice versa.)
