Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 My first day as a flight nurse was not off to a good start. I had no idea how to use the radio system, and when I responded to a pager message, I accidentally deleted it. I was unsuccessful in writing down the essential information for my ETA. #2 The first part of the flight had not gone well, but I was determined to get something right.

I had no idea what we could do, as the paramedics had already left the scene of the accident. #4 In 1987, I was in a restaurant in Tiburon overlooking San Francisco Bay when a friend of mine, Dana, hosted a brunch celebrating my recent marriage.
