This message is from Marjorie Bomben:
Hi there, I'm Marjorie Bomben, a Paramedic Field Chief with the Chicago Fire Department. I recently published a book titled It’s Not the Trauma, It’s the Drama: Stories by a Chicago Fire Department Paramedic. You can find it on Amazon Books. Check out a preview here.
Thanks for reading, Margie
For over thirty years, Marjorie Leigh Bomben has served with the Chicago Fire Department, beginning her career as a paramedic trainee working in some of the city's most challenging neighborhoods. Now serving as a Paramedic Field Chief, she reflects on three decades of service in her new book, It’s Not the Trauma, It’s the Drama.
In this collection of twenty true stories, Bomben shares experiences that are both personal and powerful—each one told from the perspective of a woman who broke through into a traditionally male-dominated field.
Her stories range from heartwarming to harrowing, covering everything from the daily dangers paramedics face to the rich history of a long-standing firehouse. Some tales focus on life-saving moments, while others highlight the struggle to survive under extreme pressure.
From her first traumatic call—a result of a deadly drag race in the streets—to her journey up the ranks, Bomben's stories move effortlessly between humor and horror. Through it all, It’s Not the Trauma, It’s the Drama offers an honest and gripping look at the challenges and risks faced by Chicago Fire Department paramedics every single day.
