This stunningly well-written collection of short stories and poetry from across the UK gives an insight into the broad and complex role of the paramedic: from the pop of the sternum as chest compressions are started on someone who is dying, through to supporting the delivery of a pink, crying baby into the world.
These accounts capture the life and death decisions made in emergency situations, the diverse calls that define a paramedic's role and, above all, the resilience, humanity, and humour required to deliver care in some of the most challenging circumstances.
Forty six authors lend their unique voices to this anthology, capturing the reality of the nights and days in the lives of those working in the ambulance service and beyond. Their stories paint a moving and honest portrait of one of the most demanding, and rewarding, roles in the NHS.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This anthology shows the breadth of emotions and experiences which come with being a paramedic. It explores the heart of our profession, in both light and shade, which is so realistic to those who always provide such care and compassion, particularly those who did so during the pandemic. Something never to be forgotten.' - Tracy Nicholls, Chief Executive of the College of Paramedics
