In this brutally honest, offensively funny paramedic memoir, NHS paramedic Trevor Wain documents one full year on the UK ambulance service frontline — every patient, every shift, exactly as it happened.No heroes. No glory. Just bodily fluids, broken systems, caffeine dependency, and a sense of humour so dark it probably needs a safeguarding referral.This isn’t a book about Hollywood heroics.It’s a true reflection of life as a working NHS paramedic — the bits the documentaries avoid and the PR team would rather you didn’t see.With biting patients, déjà poo, and coffin conundrums, this best-selling NHS diary will have you captivated throughout — frequently laughing out loud, occasionally gasping, and at least once hoping nobody notices you’ve wet yourself in public laughing so much.Some days involve genuine life-or-death emergencies.Other days involve furious relatives, bodily fluids that defy physics or simply a celebrity football match.
