Australian Ambulance Officers at Work

This book takes a close-up look at the remarkable work and incredible lives of Australia's unsung heroes - ambulance officers. Patrick Kennedy was one of Australia's first paramedics and in this book he relates some of the joys and tragedies of his years on duty, along with the experiences of many of his colleagues.

While ambulance officers really do see some terrible things, their professional lives are also filled with rewards that nine to fivers can only dream about. Like the job itself, this book is full of amazing feats of life-saving endeavour . . . the miraculous rescue of Stuart Diver at the Thredbo disaster; 10-month-old Kodie Byrnes saved with the use of a newly introduced bone-piercing needle; plucking stricken yachtsmen from wild seas; and, perhaps most hair-raising of all, the Air Ambulance nurse who had to resuscitate her unconscious pilot in mid-air.

This book goes beyond the obvious and sensational, and allows the reader to understand how an ambulance officer thinks and copes with what they believe to be the best job in the world.
