Description
Bad Call is a visceral and fast-moving memoir about Mike Scardino's experiences working as an ambulance attendant in New York City during the 1960s. Fueled by adrenaline and Sabrett's hot dogs, he spends his days responding to chaotic emergencies.
From plane crashes at JFK airport to encounters with unforgettable characters on the streets of Queens, Mike's adventures are marked by freakish accidents, narrow escapes, and a deepening understanding of the impermanence of life. This is a gritty portrait of a bygone era, rich in details that bring his world to vivid life.
Action-packed and poignant, Bad Call offers a bracing reminder to notice the moments of beauty, hope, and everyday heroism that make life worth pausing for.
