They turn every choking joke into a detailed airway management tutorial.

Who this book is for

This book is for the medic who wears 5.11 cargo trousers to a family barbecue, trauma shears still clipped to the thigh pocket and a penlight tucked in the sleeve slot, just in case. You know the type: wraparound Oakleys, black tactical boots, an EKG heartbeat tattoo snaking up one forearm, and a gas-station coffee clutched like a lifeline at 3am. They will tell a story about a lift assist gone wrong over Sunday roast, keep eating unbothered while everyone else goes pale, and then bristle visibly if anyone dares call them an ambulance driver. If you live with, love or are related to one of these people, this is the gift you have been waiting for. Perhaps you have watched them inhale a three-course holiday meal in under four minutes because the tones might drop, or been shushed in horror for saying the word 'quiet' on a Friday night. Maybe you have sat beside them while they shout 'You don't shock flatline!' at a hospital drama, or caught them eyeing a stranger's veins in the supermarket queue. Here is your chance to tease them affectionately, with jokes they will actually find funny. And if you are the medic yourself, the one who calls it the rig, the truck or the bus but never the ambulance, who knows every frequent flyer by name and address, and who can make the sick-or-not-sick call before the patient has finished saying hello, then welcome. You have earned a laugh after years of shift work, cold coffee and pockets full of gloves, alcohol wipes and half-eaten granola bars. Read it on your break, share it with your crew, and just do not blame us if the next call comes in the moment you say it has been slow.

Questions about this book

The humour is affectionate, dark-edged and drawn from life on the rig, from cold fries because the tones dropped the moment your food arrived to the heaviest patient always living at the top of a spiral-staircase walk-up. You will find one-liners, short stories and observational gags about frequent flyers, 3am 'emergencies' involving a toe that has hurt for three weeks, and the lift assist that somehow takes up an entire shift. It also covers the strange truth that crews stay calm through a multi-vehicle trauma, then lose it completely over paperwork, ER wall time or someone parking in the ambulance bay.
It makes a brilliant gift for paramedics, EMTs and student medics, and works well for birthdays, Christmas, graduation from training, retirement or as a thank-you after a particularly gruelling stretch of shifts. It is also a favourite choice for station Secret Santa and for partners who have spent years nodding along to stories about GCS 15 patients and status 3. Anyone who has worked on the bus will recognise themselves on nearly every page.
Not at all, as most of the jokes rely on universal situations like terrible timing, awkward patients and the joys of night shifts, so friends and family will laugh along easily. There are plenty of insider references, such as 'sick or not sick', 'scoop and run' versus 'stay and play', and ETOH, which will land especially well with crews. Those in the know will appreciate them, and everyone else might finally understand what their paramedic has been talking about over dinner.
Rather than recycling generic doctor and hospital jokes, this book is written around the real culture of paramedics, including the frequent flyer the whole station knows by name and the reason nobody on shift ever calls it 'the ambulance'. The humour reflects the coping mechanisms and shared experiences that crews actually swap in the back of the truck. It feels less like a joke book about paramedics and more like one written by people who have been there.
