Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every emergency begins with a call - but for those who answer it, the impact can continue long after the scene is cleared.Emergency department physicians and nurses, 911 dispatchers, death investigators, police officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals routinely witness moments most people will never see. They hear the final words. They enter homes shattered by tragedy. They carry the faces of victims, the grief of families, and the memories of calls that cannot be forgotten.Yet behind the uniforms, titles, and expectations of strength are human beings who are too often left to suffer in silence.In Echoes After the Call, Mark A. Hammond draws upon more than four decades in emergency services to expose the hidden psychological cost of answering society's worst moments. Combining personal experience, verified research, and the realities faced across multiple professions, he examines PTSD, suicide, substance misuse, damaged relationships, workplace culture, and the stigma that has prevented generations of responders from asking for help.This book is a call for awareness, compassion, and change - and a reminder to every emergency professional carrying an invisible burden: It is okay not to be okay, and no one should have to face the aftermath alone.…
