In most people's minds, ambulances are best avoided-we pull over to
let them pass, perhaps briefly thanking the universe that the day's
events have not necessitated our own swift passage to the ER, and
then we go on with business as usual. But have you ever wondered,
as that siren screeches by, what it would be like to work as a
paramedic, when the most dire emergency is just another day at the
office? In A Paramedic's Tales, Graeme Taylor reveals all-from the
humorous to the horrific. Not knowing what's around the bend makes
for a fast-paced adventure every time a paramedic goes on duty.
Taylor, who worked as a paramedic for twenty-one years in
Vancouver's Lower Mainland, the BC Interior and Victoria, shares
true stories that are both gritty and uncensored, yet the
compassion and courage of co-workers, patients, strangers-and
people who had previously threatened to kill our narrator-shines
through the gore. The author writes that as a paramedic, to stop
from crying you have to keep laughing, and readers will find
themselves doing the same. From the near-daily task of deciding
whether to send someone to the ER or the drunk tank, to the
occasional miracle, to the just plain ridiculous, readers will gain
insight into everyday life in emergency medicine. With stories set
across the province, from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to down the
side of a cliff, these rollicking tales explain the perils of life
before GPS, what to do if a drunk mob surrounds your ambulance, and
how to drive like a paramedic.
