My Life and... 30 Seconds with a Paramedic - Paperback

by Victor M. Torrens (Author)

This is a story of a young boy from a poor family, who eventually had a very interesting career. A career that lasted a lifetime. The stories told are short and I trust that you find them as interesting to read, as I found them interesting to be involved in. My whole paramedic career was controlled by my dedication to my patients, and my faith in a God who allows us to help other people, in their adversity. I have on a lot of occasions shed tears with my patients and their families and also privately. I have also had many good laughs with some patients, " laughter is the best medicine". I would like to sincerely thank my dear wife, Heather and our three children, Rose, Alan and Nigel. For their patience and understanding during my career, there were many times I was not available for birthdays and other special events in their lives. I hope the love I have shown for them has helped in this regard. I also thank God through whom I have received the power, patience and dedication to work through the many types of adversity I had in my career. The seeds of my life have been sown.
