A Day In The Life Of An Ambulance Driver: The Good, The Bad and The Stupid

By Adam Weddle

Buckle up - the sirens are already on.

You've watched the medical dramas. You've seen the TV version of an EMT's life, neatly wrapped up in forty-five minutes with a commercial break. This isn't that.

Adam Weddle spent years riding in the back of ambulances and racing to the front seat of other people's worst days - and he brought a notebook. What he came back with is a collection of true, unfiltered stories that swing from laugh-out-loud absurd to gut-punch heartbreaking, sometimes in the same call.

One night it's a home birth that doesn't go according to plan. The next, it's a scene that looks like it walked straight out of a movie - except nobody yells cut. There are calls that end in quiet, unexpected grace, and calls that will make you shake your head and mutter "you can't make this up." (He didn't have to. He just wrote it down.)

Inside these pages you'll ride along for:

The first lesson every rookie EMT learns the hard wayThe call that nearly convinced him to quit before he'd even startedLife-or-death moments that turn out stranger - or funnier - than fictionThe quiet victories that make the job worth it, and the gut-wrenching losses that never fully leave youA backstage look at the slang, the gallows humor, and the unspoken code that holds first responders together

Told in the same voice you'd get if he were sitting across from you telling it straight - no medical jargon, no Hollywood gloss, just the good, the bad, and yes, the stupid - this book pulls back the curtain on a job most people only see through a windshield as the ambulance flies by.

If you've ever wondered what really happens after those doors close, this is your ride-along.
