Andy Thompson is back with another laugh-out-loud collection of stories that reveal the essential ingredient that paramedics and ambulance technicians call on as a coping mechanism - the ability to conjure humour from situations most others would find too stressful to even raise a smile. Whether during an emergency call, setting up fellow colleagues with a prank, putting distressed patients at ease, or seeing the funny side of a bad outcome, Andy opens the window on what it's really like to be a member of Britain's frontline NHS Ambulance Service.
In 'The Lighter Side, Part 2 - A Former NHS Paramedic's Selection of Humorous Mess Room Tales' we hear of the special constable having a panic attack... while cuffed to the metal headboard of her firefighter partner's bed. The middle-aged man convinced by his teenage girlfriend of three weeks that she is twelve weeks pregnant with his baby. The lady who was more concerned about her carpet than the critical condition of her husband. How medical charades can overcome a language barrier. The ghostly goings-on during a call to the local cemetery that had Andy's crewmate quivering. And what happened when 'Hyacinth' told Andy, "...you pugnacious, silly man... send a doctor at once!"
Find out what went on when a paintballing event brings together paramedics, off-duty armed-response police officers, and a young man with Tourette's.
Forty hysterically funny stories in all, each rounded off to perfection by cartoonist Richard Duszcak's wonderfully drawn illustrations. Sometimes outrageous, occasionally sick and twisted, but we dare you not to chuckle through the whole book, and laugh your head off in places. But careful, you wouldn't want Andy to have to come and sew it back on again.
