Bottom line more of the same and how can it get any better than that. If you like england and you like EMS, this is the book for you, but alas you will have to buy it from Amazon.co.uk becuase the fixed Amazon doesn’t stock it (now how wierd is that)?

Dull Just dull I guess being a nurse the issues that were presented just didn’t hold any interest. I felt like it was gone substance. I felt a small lost reading it and couldn’t force myself to end it.

First, I worked for over 10 years in EMS which is what drew me to this book. Add that to the free offering on Kindle and of course I was sold. It’s not a terrible book, it’s really not a book at all. It’s a web log that has not been reformatted in any way before being transferred to book form.
The result? Presume having a supporter who works on an ambulance. Presume that supporter is on facebook and posts every mundane detail of his job, as well as the occasional fascinating tidbit, even as including a small humor from time to time – nothing incredibly witty but just enough to keep it from being too monotonous. He does this every day. If you delight in this kind of thing, you’ll probably delight in the book. If you just don’t get it, you’ll probably be bored to tears before reaching the 25% mark.
I gave it three stars because it’s not really excellent or terrible. It is what it claims to be: typical blog-style musings of a medic. If nothing else, it is an right depiction of every day life as a medic.

This book was an fascinating look into the life of an ambulance driver. But, I found that it quickly got ancient, and there were a lot of things that were repeated. There is no flow at all with this book. This book read very much like a blog, but, in book format, it should have been adjusted to know who the reader is. Once we’ve read the definition of why a blanket is so helpful, we don’t need to read the same reasoning and judgment 4 more times. I know why this is done in blog format, the book should have been edited for this.
There were many times I was forcing myself to pick up the kindle and end this book, which is unusual for me. I’m not sure what it is, whether it’s the style of writing or the theme matter, but I just didn’t find myself drawn into the book or attracted to the author.

A very engaging blog to novel publication. Very nice to get a view of the NHS from the surrounded by and front lines. It underscores the fact that every system has the excellent, the terrible, and the hideous. A fantastic read that will give you a better insight to the first responders in London and the world over.
