The most surprising law and ethics read for paramedics

Law and ethics may not be the first ‘go to’ book your average paramedic would choose to browse through. In fact, I would predict it would be pretty low down the list—there are no helicopters, no trauma, paediatrics or maternity, and no new clinical skills to learn. My first concern prior to reading this text, as someone who has little to no knowledge of law, is that it would be heavy going and potentially delve into areas that are not paramedic-related or of any interest to a prehospital clinician. I could not have been wider from the mark if I tried. This is the first book review I have completed where I genuinely couldn't put the book down. There is so much information packed into this book that you really need to know as a paramedic. It was this that made me eager to keep consuming the knowledge within. If I could have collected every penny that dropped while reading, I would have been considerably richer by the end!
