Well Steve, I have just finished your second book and it was again the same as the first one, a brilliant read. Being your brother I have found out things about you through your books that I never knew.
As you know I am not a reader of books, in fact yours are the only two I've read, but I would recommend your books to anybody!
I am proud of you, keep up the good work.

Steve, I finished reading your book, and loved being transported back to the days when the patient mattered, when we forged great friendships amongst ourselves and our colleagues through thick and thin.

It brought back memories and although we had relatively few ambulances covering a huge area we managed and no one sabotaged our work ethic in favour of union policies.

I relived the days when ambulances were rudimentary and yet we saved so many lives with so little equipment and even less qualified people. I support you in that the profession has become so fragmented with emergency personnel fighting about whom is more qualified instead of remembering ""we are all here for the patient"".

I echo your sentiment that I was privileged enough to be taught by dedicated, selfless men and woman who left a huge imprint in my life and lastly I agree we are part of a very special group of people.

I have just read Paramedics lights and sirens during my week of travels back to work, as you know I was stuck at Heathrow for 2 days.
It was a great read and brought back so many good memories and some great calls that we did together over the years.  
For those of us that had the privilege of working in EMS during this time I salute you all. For the young up and coming Paramedics, it makes good reading with regards some of the history of the EMS in Johannesburg.  
Keep writing you certainly have a gift, and once again thanks for all the great times.   Regards  
Tom Watson

As a paramedic myself, reading this book was a bit of an experience, a walk down memory lane with a couple of chuckles and some frustrations shared along the way. It is rare to find a book written about life in the South African EMS and Expat Medic world written by someone who has walked the walk before talking the talk!
A good read, and not only if you are or were a member of the EMS!
