Author Ken Barnett draws from experience as an EMT to pen first book

“Neck Deep” is about Ken Barnett’s wonderful, often thrilling, experiences as an emergency medical technician (EMT). He started in this field in 1993, when he chose to break the family tradition of being in the construction. Barnett was inspired from his experiences, from his patients, and from his job to write this book. His gripping life story as a flight paramedic while overcoming dozens of scary and daunting obstacles is incorporated in the book and also includes he and his colleagues’ first helicopter operation, the first in the area. Various emergency cases are shared in the book and give an eye-opening realization to readers that events like these are inevitable and are therefore, may also happen to them.

Barnett was able to convey the reality he had faced as an EMT, and the decisions he had to come up in order to save lives. With this book, one may be enlightened of the fact that accidents happen every time and everywhere, thus, one needs to be vigilant. “Neck Deep” is definitely a book worth enjoying as it not only presents the danger, the beauty, and the knowledge of saving lives, but it also keeps the readers pumped with excitement.

“Neck Deep” will be displayed in the upcoming 2017 American Association of School Librarians happening on November 9, 2017. Save the date and grab a copy!
