I have come a long way in life and my work experience is a true testament to that fact. I began working at the age of 11, with my brother Brendan, then 13, at the family owned and operated private ambulance company known as ‘Power Ambulance.’ It was a very successful business that was started by my grandfather Teddy in 1945, the year that World War II ended and the year that my mother Geraldine was born. The up and coming company soon became a powerhouse in the field of E.M.S. when passed down to Teddy’s two sons in the wake of his early death. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into at first, but after one learning experience in life, comes another one. The family business would then be threatened in the fast-paced, economically booming year of 1995 with the challenge of the onset of a fearful ‘nationally’ based private ambulance company named ‘FMR’. My two Uncles then merged their successful company with two other private ambulance companies to become ‘Tri*Medic Transport Incorporated.’ It was this magnificent Merge that gave birth to my story and my experience. I have painstakingly captured the wild animal that is the sheer calamity and hilarity personified in the realm of the private ambulance culture. It is a world all its own and only those that belong to it can truly understand it. Buckle your seatbelts and enjoy reading Code 3: The Rise & Fall of a Private Ambulance Empire!

Book Details
Code 3: The Rise & Fall of a Private Ambulance Empire proves that people from all walks of life are attracted to the strange realm that is Emergency Medical Services (E.M.S.). But like average employees, many of them come and go. “Like druggies, they get their quick fix and then they leave. E.M.S. sees them come and go like the motions of the ocean.” But what they leave behind are their unforgettable stories.
Code 3: The Rise & Fall of a Private Ambulance Empire is not your typical novel about the heroisms of what takes place in the back of an ambulance, rather, Code 3 takes you on a fast-paced ‘lights and sirens’ ride through the delightful disgraces that are hidden well from the public eye.
Code 3 is a satire ripe with figurative allegories in concert with such prime world events as Nazi Germany and the Titanic Disaster, uniquely intertwined in the unforgiving E.M.S. field of battle set inside a huge garage on the north side of Chicago that is a branch of a massive private ambulance company merger. It was inside this garage where most of the mayhem took place. Sean C. Cusack began his professional writing career in 2004 and has since published several works of different genres.
In Code 3: The Rise & Fall of a Private Ambulance Empire, Sean C. Cusack chronicles his early upbringing in the ‘family business’ and into his teenage years that were well absorbed with stories and characters. He further explores the odd world that was the calamitous private ambulance company that he worked at with an observant eye and humorous take on an otherwise suppressed occupation all from the watch of his comfortable confines.
