Publisher Marketing: "It's one thing to be told these stories but another altogether to watch them. Which is exactly what Horowitz has given us-a chance to bear witness. Profane in its depiction, exquisite in its simplicity, Medic drags you right up next to the dead and forces you to look. The great magic trick is that in each panel he's managed to squeeze in all the humor, indifference and grace that define a life on the ambulance. This book will blow you away." - Kevin Hazzard, award-winning writer of No One's Coming, A Thousand Naked Strangers, and American Sirens Publisher Marketing : 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.
