Trauma Junkies are people who feed on danger and stress. They do their best work under pressure. Janice Hudson was an adrenaline-charged emergency room nurse in a San Francisco area hospital when a friend told her about Calstar, a fledgling helicopter ambulance service with an opening for a flight nurse. Weeks later she was swooping over the Bay area to scenes of shootings, accidents and disasters. The trauma junkie had found her element. Hudson spent ten years as a flight nurse, answering calls that were by turns horrifying, heroic and absurd; involving injured children, drunk drivers, hoax calls, dark tragedies and glorious triumphs. This is her story. A born story-teller, Janice Hudson writes with compassion, insight and wry humour. This is her in-the-trenches account of emergency nursing at its most demanding. Reads like a novel, but this is real life - emergency nursing in action. Fascinating reading for anyone who works in nursing, or who loves medial dramas like ER and Casualty.
