I was just this minute on the BBC News website when I read the following headline title “Emergency calls – Drunks, blood and hoaxes. The view from inside the ambulance” which reminded me of a so called Tom Reynolds a blogger I meet at the First BritBlog BlogMeetup in London so I clicked the article link to see what it was all about and wow was I shocked or what when I read the first four paragraphs and it said Tom Reynolds’s:

Violent drunks, time-wasters and drivers that won’t clear the way… the tough reality of life for an ambulance crew is recorded each day in a blog which has been turned into a book.

When you see an emergency ambulance on the street with lights flashing and sirens wailing, it’s rarely a sign of good news.

And Tom Reynolds’s first-hand account of an ambulance crew’s daily life, Blood, Sweat and Tea, is a ride into the dark underbelly of urban life.

“We tend to see the worst of human nature,” says the 34-year-old author, who works as an emergency medical technician for the London Ambulance Service.

I clearly remember Tom telling us all at the BritBlog meet up what he was hoping to do in the next couple of months, like installing a video camera on the Ambulance to Record all the people who just wont move for a noisy flashing Ambulance!

So I think it’s great to see Tom being noticed by the BBC and to have a Book on the way too, it just goes to show you what blogging can accomplish for you.

Let’s just hope that Tom isn’t too busy to attend the next BritBlog meet up because I can’t wait to hear about all his stories in person.

But for those of you who wont be attending the next BritBlog BlogMeet why not check out his blog “Random Acts Of Reality”  and also here’s a Photo taken by Mark Sweeting at the First BritBlog BlogMeet.
