The sequel to the bestselling memoir Blood, Sweat & Tea. Tom Reynolds is an ambulance worker. On any given day he can be attacked by strangers, sworn at by motorists, puked on, covered in blood and other much more unpleasant substances. He could help to deliver a baby in the morning and witness the last moments of a dying man in the afternoon. He deals with road accidents, knife attacks, domestic violence, drug overdoses, neglect and suffering. And you think you're having a bad day at work? Tom blogs about his experiences at the end of each shift. His Random Acts of Reality website has a huge following with over 30,000 visitors every day.

More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea charts the past two years of Tom's life as an ambulance worker. He is tired, he is frustrated and he is more pissed off than ever but he still manages to capture the more moving, heartwarming and inspirational moments alongside the chaos.… (more)

A collection of Brian Kellett's blog posts about being an ambulance technician for the London Ambulance Service. I've always found ambulance personnel admirable and finding out what a lot of crap they deal with (along with helping sick people) make me admire them even more. Very interesting and honest account of the job. ( )

Great reason not to get so drunk you need EMS

Good perspective on what emergency services go through. Makes me determined not to get so drunk that I need an ambulance. ( )

It would be funny over a few drinks or if you are an ambulance driver. ( )

Interesting read. Never thought about how much EMT's see drunks. I bet it gets pretty annoying after a while. ( )
