I love a medical memoir but this just didn t do it for me I m not sure if it s because I didn t really like the guy his insistence of calling his female colleagues hun is nothing short of patronising and his style of writing is off putting to say the least I guess he s writing as he speaks but it is in no way endearing The way he goes off on a tangent through the chapters is also off putting if you re telling me about a specific incident seriously account of what a healthcare hero does The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic This is the first of 3 books the author has out on life as a paramedic in the UK To be honest none of them are particularly large so could easily be merged into one book but as they were all part of kindle unlimited I m not going to complain The story starts off with the author working his way back through school after a parade of jobs to get the qualifications to become an Ambulance technician before then working his way up to becoming a paramedic I ve got to admit I didn t realise just how difficult it was to get into the ambulance trade let alone become a full blown paramedic and it says something for his grit and determination that he made it There s a lot of detail in there most of which I m assuming is not well known We ve seen paramedics working with people in ambulances or on the street and I ve often wondered why they don t just take them straight to hospital Well now I know There s lots of little digressions which makes this feel like a conversation than a book You can imagine sitting over a cup of coffee with the author and the stories as written just flowing out of him It is a little harrowing Strangely and I think the author feels the same way although the stories of car accidents etc are disturbing it s the sudden death of a very young baby that hit me the worse If you can read that story without feeling something then there is something very wrong with you The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic The stories are fun but the author is very convinced of his own intelligence superiority to others and general awesome The way many procedures are written it feels a little like watching a Mary Sue who bosses everyone about never makes any mistakes and knows better than everyone else including others experienced and educated than him while going about saving everyone s life He knows how to fight even if the opponent is bigger and stronger he knows how to calm the silly and universally stupid patients and relatives he knows how to educate everyone around himreally the only reason he s not wearing red pants and an S over his uniform is that he s just SO down to earth. Kindle the dark side series The medical details are very interesting though many are repeated multiple times which doesn t help with the patronising tone Finally a touch of comedy is added by way of the direct quotes from the author where he speaks in slang and sounds shockingly uneducated Adding to that impression are the various grammatical mistakes throughout the entire book and the endless tangents Despite all that the anecdotes are still pretty interesting and I admire any and all emergency workers especially those dealing with the chronically underfunded NHS while handling difficult patients many having one of the worst days of their lives Unless you are a fan of medical non fiction though I wouldn t read this particular book It is however interesting what Superman is doing these days Clearly he is no longer a journalist in Metropolis but a London EMT The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic Interesting readWelcome to the real life of a paramedic An interesting read as someone who works in the service I found it harder to read as it was very over descriptive However I can admit that it would low the reader to fully understand what is going on He uses a range of stories to show the plight of the real ambulance service it is worrying to see that some of the practices from back in the old days may be coming back I personally don t think I will read due to the level of description making it slow for me but would recommend all those considering the career to read the series Know what you are really getting into guys The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic Loved It The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic An informative and entertaining look behind the scenes of a challenging and often life saving job The tragic moments are interspersed with humour though the latter didn t always quite work on me The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic Well it was free on Kindle lending and it was sort of interesting I m only giving it two stars though due to the way dialogue was written no need to drop letters and write things like alf instead of half etc etc I find that annoying rather than immersive The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic If you ever want to be a paramedic this one is a must read In The Dark Side the author Andy talks about why he chose to go into medicine the experiences of attending emergency calls and what really takes place inside a hospital It s a little upsetting in places and doesn t hold back on how horrific and brutal some of these call outs can be Out of all the medical memoirs I ve read this is one of the better ones The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic I m a huge sucker for medical reads so when I saw one based ofF NHS medics I was excited I m in the US so my experience is solely with American medics I love hearing the differences in the medical experience in different countries The author does a great job telling his stories experiences There s some personal information stories added in but the basis are his unique experiences which I adore I ll be reading his second book too The Dark Side Real Life Accounts of an NHS Paramedic
