About this listen
Collected in one volume, here are the true life stories of London ambulance driver, Tom Reynolds.
*Previously published as Sirens, after the Channel 4 TV show inspired by the book*
On any given day Tom Reynolds might be attacked by strangers, sworn at by motorists, puked on, covered in blood and other much more unpleasant substances. He could help to deliver a baby in the morning and witness the last moments of a dying man in the afternoon. He deals with road accidents, knife attacks, domestic violence, drug overdoses, neglect and suffering.
And you think you’re having a bad day at work?
His experiences spawned two volumes of memoir, both of which are collected here.

Genuinely funny
Having family and friends working in Emergency Medicine this was easy to relate to, with many a similar story heard over the dinner table or at the pub. I loved the gallows humour and the "say it like is" attitude that accompanied the majority of this audiobook. Humour being the lifeline of those that work in such professions. However there was still room for compassion and some genuinely tear inducing moments.

Very, very informative.
Long but needs to be to make its point. A look at real panic and insult and dullness of monotony the ambulance staff live every day.

Funny but accurate.
Anecdotal humour based on real examples. I would recommend to any EMS personnel looking for a relatable laugh.
