Nancy Lee Caroline was born on June 27, 1944, in Newton, Massachusetts, to Leo and Zelda Caroline. From a young age, Nancy had a strong social conscience and a strong sense of her identity as a Jew. [2] She began her medical career while still a teenager, working as a photographer and lab worker at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1966 she received a B.A. in linguistics from Radcliffe College and her M.D. from Case Western Reserve University in 1971. She stayed in Cleveland to complete her residencies, and then began a fellowship in critical care medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in 1973. Dr. Caroline was the author of “Emergency Care in the Streets,” a primer on prehospital care that has been an integral part of the training of thousands of emergency medical care technicians. First published in 1979, it is currently in its fifth printing. “Without Caroline’s work and support, EMS would not have evolved into the profession it has become,” said Dr. Bryan Bledsoe, author of “Paramedic Medical Care” and several other texts. She was a pioneer who went to bat for paramedics when paramedic wasn’t a household word,” A.J. Heightman, editor of the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, said yesterday. “She believed that prehospital care could be rendered efficiently by lay people, like firefighters and others who took on the task.” Her book is a model of concision and simplicity. “She managed to explain extremely complicated medical concepts in words and images that people can understand,” said Heightman. Caroline was working until her death in 2002. She remained an adjunct visiting professor at the University of Pittsburgh's medical school and, on a volunteer basis, as a physician and medical adviser of Magen David Adom, the Oncology Department of the Sheba Medical Center, and the Tel Hashomer Hospice. [2] For the last fifteen years of her life, she dedicated her work to cancer treatment and hospice care in Israel. In 1995, concerned about the limited options she saw in hospice care in Israel, she founded the Hospice of Upper Galilee (HUG). [5]

She had maintained her status as a visiting professor in Pitt’s anesthesiology and critical care department. In February, a two-year research fellowship was named in her honor.

Environmental Emergencies: New review of the terminology relating to the EMS specialty of wilderness EMS; Expanded coverage of the importance of regulating body temperature and fluid levels; Updated procedures for managing heat-related emergencies, including current (2020) AHA resuscitation guidelines. During the late 1970s, spurred by the fact that paramedics had to utilize nursing or medical textbooks that did not take into account EMS’ unique working environments, she authored the now-revered original paramedic textbook, Emergency Care in the Streets . For a decade her book was the only resource available for paramedic care. Today’s paramedics are asked to do so much more than provide first-aid, conduct CPR, and transport patients. The Ninth Edition contains a feature called “Street Smarts” boxes throughout the text which emphasize the “soft skills” required of today’s paramedics in the field.The language of the Ninth Edition has been thoroughly and carefully reviewed to ensure gender neutrality, racial inclusivity , and nonstigmatizing descriptions of patient conditions. Workforce Safety and Wellness: Updated discussion of emotional well-being, including recognizing the signs of compassion fatigue , using peer support , and critical incident stress debriefing (CISD); Tips for avoiding and deescalating potentially violent situations .
