Is a realistic book of a paramedics life in London. Brilliant book as a retired nurse I had a lot of contact with the ambulance workers, and I know first hand the sort of things they have to put up with, I laughed and cried with them in the book and in real life, they do a great job and are always in the front line, I wish people would treat them with.
