About the Book

Step back in time to a turbulent period that would ultimately shape Scotland's Front-Line Ambulance Profession. Paramedics and Medical Technicians are in the News every Day now, as they continue to provide one of the worlds excellent Life Saving Service. But how did they get here? This book attempts to answer that question. Have you ever stopped to consider how these Front-Line Staff survive the extensive emotions they have to face every day? A Front Line Changed reflects on some of the Author's Memories from his 40 years' Service in Edinburgh. He shares this Personal Journey from early Service days as the Story accelerates into the tragic reality he encounters in his chosen Profession. Working with his trusty Colleague through to his retirement. Describing his much-valued free time and later an insight into to his own Family tragedy. Filled with honesty and emotion and a dash of black humour where needed, this is a real account one man's experience. A must for those Medics who are interested in the History of the early Service from 1980.He doesn't hold back on his thoughts of an inept early managerial approach. Over Zealous indeed when Staff required support. The limited equipment and Industrial problems that would culminate in a six-month strike. Action that would bring the Service to its knees in the turbulent Thatcher era. Working tirelessly in the Public arena, these pioneers of the early Service would ultimately transform the organization into the recognised Front Line we see today. This Book is filled with moving inspirational stories that will stay with you long after the last page is read. Identifying the emotion, the frustration, the Trauma, and the completely bizarre (including the extraordinary case of the Dead Cat/ The Human cost of Drugs / A the Hospital Roof Rescue ). There are so many everyday human stories in this Book that it will resonate with the readers from all walks of life...
