What Paramedics Do
Written by Australian based Critical Care Paramedic, Amy Gomes after struggling to find content for her children to read about her profession. The book is suitable for ages 2-8, with intentionally realistic (but age appropriate) illustrations which aim to help reduce medical anxiety through familiarity. Excitingly, the book also features a filmed book reading with Greg Page (Original Yellow Wiggle and Cardiac Arrest Survivor) and an Auslan component with interpreter Mikey Webb.
There is so much more to the book; including an illustrated glossary, a broad range of characters from many diverse cultures and abilities, an educational component on how/when to call 000 and linked audio to a practice 000 call.
