"If you have seen television programmes from overseas about paramedic services, you can't help but be impressed at the level of clinical expertise they bring to their job. What you may not know is that the very best of what you see on these peogrammes is available right here in New Zealand. This book is one long-serving ambulance officer's first-hand observations and experioence of those changes. It is a historical narrative, written for the purpose of capturing a history that is otherwise in danger of being lost. As well as the author's own input, there is a wealth of expert knowledge from many other 'old hands.' These added insights have greatly enriched the historical value and credibility of this book.""--Publisher description.
