"This breath-taking anthology of paramedic stories made me both laugh and cry. Over my (almost) 15-year career, I have been in pretty much every one of the scenarios. Although almost every shift has its challenges, it’s also one of the most rewarding jobs in the world." Jules Swain, The Reading Para
