What is being a New Zealand paramedic really like? Do they really just go to graphic car accidents or is there more to it than that? Why would anyone want to become a paramedic anyway? And what sort of people call for an ambulance? For the first time ever in New Zealand, readers can find answers to all these questions and more. Priority One is a light hearted autobiographical account of a Kiwi Paramedic who worked first as a volunteer fire-fighter and then as a career ambulance officer with the country's busiest ambulance service. From headaches to heartaches readers will discover what it takes to a job that Readers Digest has described as one of New Zealand's most trusted professions.
