In this episode Tim Booth discusses the outlandish, ridiculous and silly things people call an ambulance for. He is the author of an hilarious comedic memoir 'You called an ambulance for what?'.

We discuss, the process to become a paramedic, some ridiculous jobs he's been to and the change he is trying to create in Australia.

I can't recommend this book more as it is one of a kind and hopefully going to lead to long last change for our brave men and women on the frontlines of our health services.
