{"product_id":"built-for-this-jeff-abbott-9798198330207","title":"Built For This: A Paramedic's Reckoning","description":"For over two decades, Jeff Abbott ran toward chaos while most people ran away from it.From the back roads and farming communities of Western New York to pediatric trauma centers, SWAT operations, overseas tactical medicine assignments, and the unforgiving world of air medical transport, Built For This is a raw and unfiltered memoir about life inside emergency medicine-and the cost of surviving it.Told with honesty, dark humor, and the blunt realism only a veteran paramedic can deliver, this memoir pulls readers into the culture of EMS, critical care transport, and first responder life. But beneath the adrenaline and controlled chaos lies something deeper: cumulative trauma, brotherhood, identity, and the emotional toll carried long after the sirens stop.At the center of the story is the devastating helicopter crash that changed everything, forcing the author to confront grief, PTSD, mortality, and the uncomfortable question of who he is when the job no longer protects him from himself.More than a memoir about emergency medicine, Built For This is a reckoning with purpose, resilience, and what first responders carry long after the call is over.Perfect for readers of first responder memoirs, military and tactical nonfiction, trauma narratives, and stories of survival, identity, and post-traumatic growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Abbott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798198330207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Jeff Abbott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48998544900351,"sku":"9798198330207","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/built-for-this-jeff-abbott-9798198330207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
