Tradesmen, mechanics, carpenters, car workers and ex-service personnel, after a minimal amount of training, could all assume the role of ambulance driver\/attendant. That all stopped in 1965, when the Miller Report recommended that ambulance services should provide treatment as well as transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have compiled this book of over 100 stories to pass down to posterity some of the extraordinary, bizarre and comical moments of the past forty-odd years. Many of these events happened before political correctness had been invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the interests of all concerned, the names and locations have been altered to protect the guilty. All the stories are true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI dedicate this book to ambulance driver Len, who gave 43 years’ service to the cause.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mereo Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157695152368,"sku":"2940044667648","price":2.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044667648_p0.jpg?v=1763965371","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044667648","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
