This is something I've pondered doing for a while now. As paramedics we get to see a side of life that few do. The good and the bad. From the birth of a new life to the final moments of another. From the sudden accidental death of a child to the horrors that people can commit against one another. Not many people have such a wide range of experiences. I hope to bring some of their stories to life.
You'll also see the irreverence that paramedics can bring to any situation. Hopefully you won't find it offensive but you might. "Black humour" is always available to us as a defense mechanism against what we see; a combination of MASH, ER, and Animal House. Really though, it's not like anything on TV or in the movies. It's not near as dramatic. I guess the closest I've seen is "Bringing Out The Dead". It was over the top in some ways but captured the interplay between paramedics and some of the humour better than most.
I hope that you find this entertaining and educational.
