When the sirens stop, the real emergency begins. Shawn Gilley lived for the rush of the rescue. As the director of an ambulance service, his identity was forged in the fire of high-stakes leadership and the relentless pursuit of service. But the very drive that made him a success was also a silent killer. When a massive heart attack brought his body to a standstill, the business he spent years building crumbled alongside his health. 10-7: The Code for Out of Service is a raw, unflinching look at the cost of the 'indispensable leader' myth. It is the story of a man caught between the selfless values of a pastoral upbringing and the cutthroat financial realities of the private medical industry. This is more than a business memoir; it is a roadmap for anyone standing on the brink of burnout. Through his personal wreckage, Gilley uncovers the vital tools for crisis management and the psychological keys to rebuilding a life from scratch. If you have ever tied your worth to your job title, or if you are currently ignoring the warning signs of collapse, this book is your wake-up call. Discover how to navigate total professional loss, set healthy boundaries, and find a way back to service—on terms that won't kill you.
