What if the story of your life could be told by the pictures on your walls-or the ones missing? In Picture Theory: A Paramedic's View of the World, Steven Morken offers a raw, reflective, and emotionally charged journey through the mind of a frontline medic. But this is more than an EMS memoir-it's a story about what happens when trauma, memory, and meaning collide. Through real-life emergency calls, powerful moments of silence, and deeply personal reflections, Morken explores how paramedics often see the world differently.

What if the story of your life could be told by the pictures on your walls-or the ones missing? In Picture Theory: A Paramedic's View of the World, Steven Morken offers a raw, reflective, and emotionally charged journey through the mind of a frontline medic. But this is more than an EMS memoir-it's a story about what happens when trauma, memory, and meaning collide. Through real-life emergency calls, powerful moments of silence, and deeply personal reflections, Morken explores how paramedics often see the world differently. He describes how the presence-or absence-of photographs in patients' homes speaks volumes about love, loss, and the quiet pain people carry. These observations form the foundation of his "Picture Theory," a concept that challenges us to rethink how we measure meaning in everyday life. Combining field experience with introspective storytelling, this book explores themes of burnout, emotional intelligence, parenthood, PTSD, and the search for identity. Morken doesn't flinch from difficult moments-patients who don't make it, relationships that fracture under pressure, and the struggle to be fully present when the world feels too loud. And yet, despite the darkness, Picture Theory is ultimately a story about hope. It's about learning to survive, to connect, and to keep showing up even when it hurts. This book is for first responders, caregivers, and anyone who has ever looked at the night sky and tried to make sense of it all. It will resonate with fans of memoirs that are both heartfelt and unflinchingly honest-memoirs that don't offer easy answers, but do offer connection.
