In this updated edition, taking in his experiences during the
coronavirus pandemic, Dan Farnworth brings vividly to life his
astonishing times as a medic working on the frontline of the UK
Ambulance Service. When the 999 call goes out, he has little idea
what he will find - and how he will cope with the challenges he
faces when he gets there. Having worked in the emergency services
for more than fifteen years, Dan Farnworth has seen it all. There
was the time he was called to take away a dead body - only for the
'corpse' to jolt back into life and demand to know what he was
doing in her house. Earlier in his career, he unwittingly disturbed
a crime scene as he shared the sad news of the victim's death with
her son. Along with the 18,000 other paramedics in the UK who serve
us day and night, Dan constantly finds himself pushed into
extraordinary circumstances where he not only has to deal with
those he has been sent to help, but also their worried families and
friends - and even with irate drivers who object to his ambulance
getting in their way as he desperately works to save someone's
life. There is a special camaraderie among paramedics, and 999 -
Life on the Frontline is packed with stories that are sometimes
sad, occasionally hilarious, often moving but always inspirational.
However, the work also takes its emotional toll, and Dan won an ITV
NHS Heroes Award after setting up the Our Blue Light Campaign that
helps those in his profession suffering from PTSD - something that
struck him after a truly shocking event. His story will make you
see our ambulance service in a completely new way.
