About this listen
In 1783, a young merchant’s son lies dying on a frozen Scottish road, his leg shattered, his lifeline severed, and no help in sight. Before ambulances, before medicine as we know it, survival depended on luck, distance, and the kindness of strangers.
Through one man’s struggle to survive, Past Medical History: The Story of EMS traces the origins of emergency care from rural folk healers to the first anatomy theaters of Edinburgh to a battlefield surgeon who refused to accept that dying in the dirt was inevitable.
This is where it all began: the moment humanity realized that help had to come.
