Description

Can You Hear Me? is a memoir of the chaos, intensity and occasional beauty of life as a paramedic. Jake Jones has worked in the UK ambulance service for ten years, witnessing a dozen extraordinary scenes every day.

From a young man stopped breathing in a supermarket toilet to a pedestrian with a nasty head injury refusing medical attention on a busy road, Jones shares stories of the strains and challenges of one of the most demanding and important jobs anyone can do. With poignancy, humour and compassion, he invites readers into the world of pre-hospital care.

This honest and thought-provoking book is a sobering portrayal of the ailing, the distressed and the lonely, yet also an uplifting read that will make you thankful for the dedicated individuals who respond to emergencies.
