Series: Extreme Medical Services Prequel  |  Author: Jamie Davis  |  FREE Download

Vampires. Werewolves. Angels. Shapeshifters. In Jamie Davis’s Extreme Medical Services universe, these aren’t the stuff of legend — they’re your neighbors, your colleagues, and occasionally your patients. They have jobs, pay taxes, and argue about parking. They also have medical emergencies that no standard paramedic protocol was ever written to handle.

 

The Vampire and the Paramedic is the story of how the Unusual community of Elk City began to access something they’d never had before: emergency medical care, delivered openly, by people who know exactly what they are.

Meet the Unusuals

🧛 Vampires — Extraordinary strength and ultraviolet vision, but burns do not heal. Fire is a genuine, lasting fear. They’ve moved from hunting humans to relying on willing donors — a modern arrangement that’s made coexistence possible. James Lee, the vampire lord of Elk City, has been alive for 1,674 years and has never once needed to call 911. Until now.

 

🐺 Lycans (Werewolves) — Extraordinary healing ability — lost tissue can regrow, as long as the patient survives the initial injury. The catch: any altered mental state — low blood sugar, trauma, loss of consciousness — can trigger an uncontrolled shift. A werewolf mid-hypoglycemic episode doesn’t need fluids. He needs glucagon, and someone strong enough to hold him still while it takes effect.

 

👼 Eldara (Angels) — The “Old Ones,” predating all other Unusuals. They have healing powers that make modern medicine look rudimentary — but they deliberately restrain them, believing in letting life take its natural course. Ashley, the Eldara Sister working as a nurse in the Elk City ER, has a golden halo only visible to Unusual ultraviolet vision. She mostly watches, occasionally nudges a patient’s recovery in ways that don’t quite count as miracles.

 

🌑 Other Unusuals — Shapeshifters, creatures of various kinds, a whole world of beings who look human until they don’t. What they share: heightened healing, a need for privacy, and centuries of learning to keep their existence quiet in a world that isn’t ready to know about them.

 

What Makes Their Medicine Different

Davis — a real nurse and retired paramedic — builds Unusual physiology around the central question any paramedic would ask: how does this condition change my treatment plan? The answer varies by type, but the logic is always the same human medical framework, modified for the patient in front of you.

 

Severe bleeding: Same approach — tourniquet, IV fluids — but if the patient is a lycan and loses consciousness, be ready for a shift. Have a plan.

 

Low blood sugar: Standard glucagon protocol — except your patient may already be mid-transformation into a wolf by the time you arrive.

 

Burns: For humans, serious but treatable. For vampires, catastrophic — burns don’t heal. The fear is real and physiological.

 

Patient transport: Never in a standard ambulance with an uninformed crew. One mid-transport shift and centuries of careful secrecy collapse.

 

Why Station U Matters

Before Station U existed, Unusuals had two options in a medical emergency: find a human doctor who already knew their secret, or rely on their own healers — which wasn’t always enough. The creation of a 911-linked unit dedicated to Unusual care is the first time the community has had access to modern emergency medicine without the threat of exposure.

 

Every call Brynne Garvey responds to isn’t just about one patient. It’s proof of concept: that centuries of mutual fear between humans and Unusuals can give way, one emergency at a time, to something that looks like trust.
