About this work

Description

An S&M party gone horribly wrong, a dead man locked in a car with a hungry bull terrier, a teenage girl with suspicious abdominal pains, and a man who's fainted, frightened he was allergic to his cheese and onion sandwich ... It's just another day at work for Kit Wharton. After a childhood pickled in alcohol and punctuated by parental fighting, stints in journalism and house removals, Kit Wharton joined the NHS ambulance service. He hasn't looked back. This is his report from the front line: 999 calls that hurtle him to the critical moment in other peoples' lives.
