For 15 years, Steven Schrader worked as a fire-fighter and an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) in Atlanta, Georgia. There, he faced the day-to-day stress created by having to deal with non-stop human catastrophe. Added to these difficulties were his own personal struggles, not the least being the bias he experienced because of his severe hearing loss. His deafness occasionally hindered him and sometimes saved him, but, mostly, as it should, it became part of the background to the astonishing stories he tells.
