Publisher Description
Stuart Gray is a paramedic dealing with the worst life can throw at him.
A Paramedic's Diary is his gripping, blow-by-blow account of a year on the streets - 12 roller-coaster months of enormous highs and tragic lows. One day he'll save a young mother's life as she gives birth, the next he might watch a young girl die on the tarmac in front of him after a hit-and-run. His is a world of hoax calls, drunks and druggies, terrorist bombings and gangland shootings. A gripping, entertaining and often amusing read.

This book is a must read!! it tells the good and bad sides of the job. it's a real page turner, fantastic writing! 10/10 :D
Hmmm
It’s definitely an interesting book as far as the stories go, but it’s a bit concerning the way the author describes his patients and the lack of compassion he has for them. Wouldn’t want my family being treated by an individual like that. You know what you’re getting yourself into when you go for the career, I don’t think this is the right occupation for him.
