Life on the frontline isn’t all flashing blue lights and dramatic rescues. Sometimes it’s saving a life with seconds to spare. Sometimes it’s searching for a missing TV remote, arguing with a GP’s receptionist, or realising the “cardiac arrest” is really just acid reflux. And sometimes, it’s sitting quietly with a family as their loved one takes their last breath.

In this brutally honest, darkly funny, and deeply human memoir, paramedic Trevor Wain takes you through one full year on the job. Each day brings a new call, a new patient, and a fresh reminder that truth is always stranger than fiction.

From tragic to ridiculous — cardiac arrests, collapses in supermarkets, patients who need help but don’t want it, and even the odd child with their finger stuck somewhere it definitely shouldn’t be — Trevor captures the raw, unfiltered reality of ambulance life.

With humour as sharp as a defibrillator shock and compassion at the heart of every story, A Year in Green is more than just a diary. It’s a frontline tour through the chaos, comedy, and quiet heartbreak that comes with wearing the green uniform.

Hats off to the author. Show and tell. Warts and all. You won’t be disappointed. The narrator did you proud too. Add this one to your wishlist

If you want to find out what happened to the patient in each chapter don’t bother with this audiobook. It tells half a story then skips onto the next chapter so quickly. Very disappointing

Lack of explanation

I decided to purchase this book as I am currently undertaking the Apprentice EMT1 with NWAS week 12 of a 14 week programme for the clinical side and then 4 weeks of driving.

The stories are short, factual, give good insight to different presentations and offer a varied, all round approach to the kind of jobs I suppose we will get. Initially I was looking for something to help me get my head around the OSCEs that we have to complete as part of training but I can’t seem to find ANYTHING in Audible format to support that, not UK based anyway. However, this does help in some way as said before and two days in I am still riveted to book on my 1 hour commute each day to the training venue.

A big help and interesting to listen to

A unique gilmpse to a world that not many people have a chance to hear about. Written and read in a way that makes you feel like you're listening to a mate's story over a brew. Easy on technical terms and does teach you a few things.
