Tom Reynolds

Tom Reynolds is an Emergency Medical Technician with the London Ambulance Service. Based on his blog, this book reveals the stories behind the flashing blue light and is by turns moving, funny, heart-rending and compassionate.

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.
