Between the Call and Silence. What Happens to Those Who Call an Ambulance and Those Who Rush to Them

Imagine: four in the morning, the wail of a siren, an ambulance worker who hasn't slept for over a day, rushing to a call, not knowing whether a mortally ill person awaits him or a temperature of 36.9... A typical day for an emergency paramedic.

This book is a collection of true gripping stories that will take you to the epicenter of events, where paramedics and doctors encounter the most unexpected and incredible cases daily.
