This book is not what I expected. There were a lot of philosophical tangents which were just a tad long-winded and a bit boring which made me zone out. The book also didn’t flow particularly well. The first few chapters jump around all over the place and are just confusing but it never really settles.
However, some of the cases were really interesting and it was great at showing the vast array of case types. It highlights how weird it must be to not find out what happens to your patient after you get them to hospital. It also shows how underfunded the NHS and social care industries are.

Really insightful book about life on the ambulance service. Peppered with humour but done with respect. Brilliant memoir.
Content Warnings
Due to the nature of the book there are obviously scenes of serious injury, death and trauma. These are described in lots of detail

Each chapter covers a different story, told from the paramedic’s point of view. It’s quite interesting to see from this perspective how an incident unfolds. One big takeaway for me is more empathy for first responders who give their absolute best call after call.
