by Tom Reynolds
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A collection of true life stories from "one of the most gripping blogs around" recounting life as a paramedic for a British ambulance service. (The Guardian)
Have you ever wondered what's going on inside the ambulance screaming past you during your rush-hour commute? Since 2003, Tom Reynolds (writing under an alias so as not to get sacked from his job), has kept a blog where he chronicles the day-in, day-out realities of his life on the job as an EMT with the London Ambulance Service. By turns both poignant and profound, Reynolds's writing captures the very essence of life and death. From the mundane to the surreal, from the heartwarming to the cynical, from the calm to the frenetic, more than 300 entries from his award-winning blog, Random Acts of Reality (randomreality.blogware.com) are included in the book. The tales are the stuff of Grey's Anatomy, House, and ER—only these events aren't unfolding on a Hollywood soundstage but on the front lines of a first responder's real life.
"An alluring mix of humor, bravery, cynicism, and compassion." —London Daily Telegraph
