Free Book (Kindle) - More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea
More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea, by Tom Reynolds
Book Description Meet Tom, an Emergency Medical Technician for the London Ambulance service. It is Tom who shows up to pick up the drunk tramp, the heart attack victim and the pregnant woman who wants to go to hospital in an ambulance because she doesn't want to call a taxi. Tom is also a man who rails against the unfairness of it all, who bemoans the state of the NHS and who ridicules the targets that state that if the ambulance arrives within eight minutes and the patient dies it is a success and if the ambulance arrives in nine minutes and the patient's life is saved it is a fail.Welcome to the topsy-turvy world of the emergency services. From the tragic to the hilarious, from the heart-warming to the terrifying, Blood, Sweat and Tea 2 is packed with fascinating anecdotes that veer from tragic to hilarious; heart-warming to terrifying and Tom deftly leads the reader through a rollercoaster of emotion.In the brilliant and bestselling Blood Sweat and Tea Tom gives a fascinating - and at times alarming - picture of life in inner-city Britain and the people who are paid to mop up after it.Captures the thrills, heartbreak and frustrations of medicine in a way that resonates with readers around the world. |

Got it, you rogue, you!
Another ebook for my ebookieuse. (The ebook corpses keep piling up. I'm now having more trouble keeping up with what to read, than a governmental agency trying to dispose of its nuclear waste material.) Don Last edited by Dr. Drib; 02-10-2010 at 10:03 AM. Reason: Forgot a comma |

---- I saw on Tom's blog that their is a $10 copy of one of his books in the Amazon store that is an unauthorized version, which he has yet to get them to remove/take down (probably grabbed from the Manybooks site). This one was also being sold for $12 there at one time, in an unauthorized edition, but the free book currently posted is from his publisher, The Friday Project. |
