A decade on the ambulance, in graphic form

Dave Horowitz’s nonfiction graphic novel draws on ten years working in emergency medical services, tracing a professional journey from inexperienced EMT to seasoned paramedic. Its diary framing places the work’s demands alongside major pressures named in the source, including an agency’s bankruptcy, a global pandemic, and repeated exposure to suffering. The subject is both the practical world of ambulance work and the toll that sustained emergency response can take on the person doing it.

  • Adults interested in nonfiction graphic novels about medicine and emergency services
  • Readers curious about the experience of working as an EMT or paramedic
  • Those interested in first-person accounts of work during a pandemic

Book overview

Medic, a Diary, is a graphic novel documenting author/illustrator/paramedic Dave Horowitz's true to life journey from totally green EMT (emergency medical technician) to seasoned and potentially burned-out paramedic. During his ten years on the ambulance, Horowitz has worked through the bankruptcy of one agency, a global pandemic, and has been witness to the relentless suffering that is the bread and butter of EMS (Emergency Medical Services).
