My Ambulance Education Book CoverMy Ambulance Education is a culmination of about seven years of on and off writing. While it is not my first book, I’ve been involved with writing science books before, it is the first book that is based on the events that shaped my professional life. It is exciting to have a book like this published and I sincerely hope that it is enjoyable, informative and useful for the reader.

I’m looking forward to having the stories from my days working on the ambulance made public. Hopefully people will see how I grew and changed during the years working in emergency medical services. My current work is concerning the causes, diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Some of this work actually has applications in ambulances and emergency rooms. While technology has changed since the days I worked on the ambulance, it seems that the same problems and people are prevalent. Thus the experience from My Ambulance Education, helps me in my current career.

I want to reiterate my sentiments in the book that the professionals and paraprofessionals I talk about in My Ambulance Education are heroes and mentors for me. You have been my mentor in personal and medical education, hence education is in the title. I learned a lot from my learned colleagues, which has been pivotal to many later stages of my profession and career to become a University Professor. Therefore my heartfelt thanks to all those involved. I hope that I have made you proud.

Finally, I hope the reader enjoys My Ambulance Education. It reflects significant events in my formative years and shaped my career.
