when I got this book it s a series of blog posts collated together into a book rather than the normal book I was expecting I will admit that this does give a good insight into the life of a paramedic but I spent a good proportion of the book wanting to give the author a serious shaking He comes across as incredibly arrogant and unprofessional, making comments about the patients he sees which would be inappropriate within a conversation between crews, let alone published for the whole world to see While quite a bit of what he wrote made me see red, there was one bit in particular which had my blood boiling instantly At one point, after describing the death of an infant, he implies that people who are affected by the death of a patient, are weak That is as far from the truth as possible and will make people feel horrendous if they are affected by some...Great book, better than expected I found out there is a second book which I plan on acquiring This book was a whole range of emotions like riding a roller coaster or perhaps just like taking a ride in the back of an ambulance while going over several speed bumps It was at times touching and heartfelt, other times maddening, you can t help but get into it and there were some stories that I was laughing so hard I was crying All in all, it was a satisfying ride and read and I m glad I took Great book, better than expected I found

who is an EMT in the United Kingdom Prior to this, I had no clue the author had a blog and the book was basically his blog in published form Due to this, the stories were for the most part very short, some not even taking up an entire page, which occasionally left you wantinginformation about the incident Other than that it was a very interesting book, especially since I have family who works in the medical field or as EMT s and I enjoy listeni This was an interesting book about someone who is an EMT in the United Kingdom Prior to this, I had no clue the author had a blog and the book was
