EMERGENCY ADMISSIONS
 
 
A glimpse into the extraordinary world of ambulance driving from the man behind the wheel.
�Heart-stopping, eye-opening and jaw-dropping. Sometimes painful, sometimes sad, often very, very funny� Craig Brown
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 picked 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.
