Recenzje

In this context Leo McCann's The Paramedic at work: a sociology of a new profession provides a timely, detailed insight into the realities of paramedics' working lives... The real beauty of McCann's book is that he not only captures these facets of paramedics' work in exquisite, nail-biting detail, but that he augments it with myriad other details. What the reader gets is a visceral insight into the full scope of paramedics' work, and the complex dynamics of this occupation as it transitions into a profession.
