Description
A harrowing glimpse into the world of a paramedic is offered by Lysa Walder in this account of her 20-year career with the London Ambulance service. The book recounts scenes of tragedy, heroism, loss and horror, as well as stories of triumph and humour. Working in a job that brings paramedics face-to-face with death and destiny every day, Lysa shares her experiences of responding to emergency calls, including fatal asthma attacks, gang-rapings, and suicidal overdoses. Through her stories, Lysa sheds light on the realities of life as a paramedic, revealing the human side of a profession that often goes unreported.
