Nine months of tying tourniquets and pushing new medications, of IVs, chest compressions, and defibrillator shocks - that was Kevin Grange's initiation into emergency medicine when, at age 36, he enrolled in the "Harvard of paramedic schools": UCLA's Daniel Freeman paramedic program, long considered one of the best and most intense paramedic training programs in the world.
Few jobs can match the stress, trauma, and drama that a paramedic calls a typical day at the office, and few educational settings can match the pressure and competitiveness of paramedic school. Blending months of classroom instruction with ER rotations and a grueling field internship with the Los Angeles Fire Department, UCLA's paramedic program is like a mix of boot camp and med school. It would turn out to be the hardest thing Grange had ever done, but also the most transformational and inspiring.
An in-depth look at the trials and tragedies that paramedic students experience daily, Lights and Sirens is ultimately about the best part of humanity - people working together to help save a human life.

UCLA's paramedic program is rightfully losing a plethora of people who need a nurturing environment, not a military construct, to succeed. The internship program as described in this book resembles the hazing that is now forbidden and illegal within fire departments and elsewhere. Learning a proud profession in an environment that deliberately causes doubt and self-image issues should NOT be allowed. The preceptor program of LA County should be revised and brought into current learning models that support and nurture students to blossom and grow. There is no room for bullies and macho egomaniacs.
Disgusting intellectual hazing by instructors.
