The Street Medic's Survival Guide has been written by an experienced frontline paramedic to fill a void that exists for everyone embarking on the journey into the profession. Even if you are just thinking about becoming a paramedic, this book will take you through the realities of the job - the stuff they don't tell you in training school or university.
Written with humour and common sense by the author of 'A Paramedic's Diary - Life and Death on the Streets', the book will open your eyes before you embark on the long, arduous training programme that is standard for paramedics-to-be. Everything you need to know about 'out there' is in here, including:
- The recruitment and training process
- Salary and work conditions
- How to use the radio properly without making a fool of yourself
- How to wear uniform properly, including how to iron it!
- Call types and how to handle stress
With illustrations and real-life examples throughout, this book is destined to become the 'how to' bible of paramedicine.
