In this episode of the Medical Author Chat Podcast I interview the author of a Moments in the Death of a Flesh Mechanic ... a healers rebirth
The book is a non-fiction account of his own experience. Russ comments that he “writes because I have to.” He started taking notes as a field medic and the book has evolved over the last twenty-five years until its recent publication. We discuss some of the themes of the book including the balance between life and death that paramedics witness and can sometimes alter.
Like all episodes we conclude with the author’s advice for aspiring authors. Russ emphatically encourages you to “START” writing and to “not give up on meaningful themes.”
