'During open-chest resuscitations, I've held a non-beating,
recently stilled human heart in my hands. And, should you ever get
to hold one, you will find the human heart to be rubbery and
shockingly light.' What Could Possibly Go Wrong? is a report from
the front line of emergency medicine, the first ever account of
what it is like to work as an air ambulance doctor. Whether
describing cutting through a patient's breastbone to plug a stab
wound or barrel rolling a light aircraft at 5,000 feet, Tony
Bleetman captures the sheer adrenaline of racing through the sky to
save lives. You will learn how to land a helicopter on the side of
a mountain, what it means to encounter death every day, and how to
perform a tracheotomy in real life (clue: it doesn't involve a
ball-point pen). Funny, shocking and moving, What Could Possibly Go
Wrong? is a glimpse at a world where the wrong decision can mean
the difference between life and death. Originally published as You
Can't Park There: The Highs and Lows of an Air Ambulance Doctor.
