The prevailing narrative provides a rather simple answer: saving and transporting the critically ill and injured. This is not an incorrect description, but it is incomplete. Drawing on field observations, medical records, and his own experience as a novice emergency medical technician, sociologist Josh Seim reimagines paramedicine as a frontline institution for governing urban suffering. Bandage, Sort, and Hustle argues that the ambulance is part of a fragmented regime that is focused more on neutralizing hardships (which are disproportionately carried by poor people and people of color) than on eradicating the root causes of agony. Whether by compressing lifeless chests on the streets or by transporting the publicly intoxicated into the hospital, ambulance crews tend to handle suffering bodies near the bottom of the polarized metropolis. Seim illustrates how this work puts crews in recurrent, and sometimes tense, contact with the emergency department nurses and police officers who share their clientele. These street-level relations, however, cannot be understood without considering the bureaucratic and capitalistic forces that control and coordinate ambulance labor from above. Beyond the ambulance, this book motivates a labor-centric model for understanding the frontline governance of down-and-out populations 546 In English. 588 0 Online resource, title from digital title page (viewed on January 25, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Ambulance service|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85004176|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Emergency medical technicians|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85042754|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 0 Ambulances.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85004178 650 0 Emergency medical services.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85042747 650 7 Ambulance service.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 806788 650 7 Emergency medical technicians.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/908603 650 7 Ambulances.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/806807 650 7 ambulances.|2aat 650 7 emergency medical centers.|2aat 650 7 Emergency medical services.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/908554 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xSociology|xUrban.|2bisacsh 650 7 Electronic books.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 906854 651 2 United States.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014481 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSeim, Josh.|tBandage, sort, and hustle. |dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2020]|z9780520300217|w(OCoLC)1120094600 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2291033|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
