Can you hear me? Encounters with life and death of an ambulance paramedic

Chaos, the sharpness of experiences, and rare moments of harmony: notes on the life of an ambulance paramedic.
A young man stops breathing in a supermarket bathroom. A pedestrian with a serious head injury does not allow the ambulance team to approach on a busy road. A newborn raises concerns because they are behaving too quietly. A drug addict, who was not given a dose, urinates on the floor in the ambulance. All of this is the daily life of a paramedic.
Jake Jones has been working in the British ambulance service for over ten years. Every day he witnesses dozens of scenes that we would never want to see. "Can you hear me?" is the first phrase upon arrival at the scene. These are stories about chaos, intense experiences, and rare moments of beauty in life at the forefront of medicine.
