In 1991, Erick Connell was living and working in the Seattle/Tacoma area as an E.M.T. III responding to 911 calls for a large ambulance company.

He was hired to perform the most dangerous job on Earth, in the most treacherous seas, treating the injured and sick hundreds of miles from the nearest hospital. This is his story.
