Paramedics push their limits every day. They meet clinical benchmarks. They keep their response times low with one goal in mind--to save the patient they have been sent to. The day-to-day stress combined with pressure from management, home life, and other personal struggles wears us out. At what point do we notice that the person sent to save needs to be saved? If your coworker was about to take their own life, would you ever notice? Is your coworker the same person at work that they are at home? The Double-Edged Sword addresses one paramedic's personal struggles that led to the darkest place he had ever been in life. With no support structure or hobbies, he was in trouble. The darkness wasn't the end; it was just the beginning.
