An alluring mix of humor, bravery, cynicism, and compassion." —London Daily Telegraph
It's the stuff of Grey's Anatomy, House, and ER—only these events aren't unfolding on a Hollywood soundstage.
Have you ever wondered what's going on inside the ambulance screaming past you during your rush-hour commute? Since 2003, Tom Reynolds (writing under an alias so as not to get sacked from his job), has kept a blog where he chronicles the day-in, day-out realities of his life on the job as an EMT with the London Ambulance Service.
By turns both poignant and profound, Reynolds's writing captures the very essence of life and death. From the mundane to the surreal, from the heartwarming to the cynical, from the calm to the frenetic, more than 300 entries from his popular blog at randomreality.blogware.com are included in the book.
Dear Mr. Alcoholic:
Would you mind awfully not swearing at me, taking a swing at me, or exposing yourself to me? I have quite enough abuse from the nondrunks out there. . . . Still, at least your fists are easy to dodge, and if I stop holding you up, you fall over.
The author's hugely popular blog, Random Acts of Reality, has been named Medgadget Best Medical Blog and Best Literary Medical Blog.

Blood, Sweat, and Tea: Real-Life Adventures in an Inner-City Ambulance Review
Book Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
Blog Posts: 5 stars out of 5. I really enjoyed this book because I really learned how it is to work on an ambulance (in London). There are so many things that EMS people need to do that it's crazy. I was also happy that I was able to understand a lot of the medical terms. I've always been interested in the medical field. I felt really bad for the older people in this novel. As I've learned most of the nursing homes didn't completely treat them right. It was really hard to see. All people should be taken care of when they aren't able to care for themselves.
At one point in the story I was really worried for Brian Kellet. He ended up swallowing HIV positive blood. I was happy to learn that he didn't get HIV.
There were other scary situations that most EMS people have to deal with. It's nice to read about the police, EMT's, and firefighters working together.
All in all I enjoyed this book!
