About this listen

A glimpse into the extraordinary world of ambulance driving from the man behind the wheel.

‘Heart-stopping, eye-opening and jaw-dropping. Sometimes painful, sometimes sad, often very, very funny’ Craig Brown

An S&M party gone horribly wrong

A dead man locked in a car with a hungry bull terrier

A teenage girl with suspicious abdominal pains

And a man who’s fainted, frightened he was allergic to his cheese and onion sandwich

… It’s just another day at work for Kit Wharton

After a childhood picked in alcohol and punctuated by parental fighting, stints in journalism and house removals, Kit Wharton joined the NHS ambulance service. He hasn’t looked back. This is his report from the front line: 999 calls that hurtle him to the critical moment in other peoples’ lives.

One of the best books I've listened to on Audible. In places laugh out loud hilarious and all through well written and performed, it's an amazing window on the sides of a job you don't see.

Excellent

this book definitely isn't for the faint hearted, it goes into some pretty gory details. There were points where I laughed out loud with some of the stories he tells and some you can't believe really happened. If you want a real insight into the Uk ambulance service this is a good book to have.

This book is an interesting compilation of some of the more bizarre ambulance tasks and it also shows how life as an ambulance technician and home can intertwine. The reflections about his childhood give a depth to the book. It produces many emotions from humour to sadness, from times of joy to times of pain. A memorable read

Interesting

A mixture of stories from the front line of the ambulance service and of an 'interesting' childhood. Enjoyed it and would like to read more about the writer's life. I found the wry tone of the narration a bit monotonous.

Engaging

Loved it, funny, witty, sad, and gross all in one. Great life stories makes you realise what a great job the ambulance service provides. Well done!

It's not funny it's not even interesting, apart from one or two stories I've heard them all before even experienced some myself and I have funnier experiences than the ones in this audio book and I only worked in a nursing home which half where dementia patient's. Was very unimpressed.

Uninteresting and Not Funny At All
