Out of the Darkness

September 12, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

SAN DIEGO, September 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ —

– Digital issue looks inside the minds, lives & hearts of
responders to 9-11-01

The Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS)
today announces the publication of a special 150-page four-volume
digital issue featuring first-person accounts of responders who
were thrust into the world spotlight the morning of September 11,
2001, when terrorists invaded their response districts – and their
lives – and changed the way they, and most responders throughout
the world, think, train, respond and live their lives.

A.J. Heightman, Editor-in-Chief of JEMS, and Teresa
McCallion, Editor of the EMS Insider newsletter – both
published by Elsevier Public Safety, a business unit of Elsevier –
teamed up to write some of the most factual and insightful
editorial coverage in the history of EMS. More importantly, they
were able to weave together important facts and events of the three
simultaneously-occurring disasters, and present positive – and
negative – effects of the events on EMS agencies and their
personnel.    

An important finding was that, with ten years of hindsight, they
and those they interviewed realize that the responders directly
involved in each terrorist event now belong to an exclusive,
dreadful club. A club none of them asked to join and every one of
them would rather not have been inducted into. However, they
recognize that they have been set apart from the rest of humanity,
damaged in a way no one but other 9/11 responders and witnesses can
understand. Most responders say that they will only talk about 9/11
with others who were there that day-other members of the club.

Since 9/11, some responders have been promoted, some have had to
retire with disabilities, some have major health issues and many
have experienced stress, strain and deep chasms in their
relationships with loved ones. Divorce rates have soared in some
circles after 9/1
