'Random Acts of Reality' is a London-based paramedic blog about former London Ambulance Service (LAS) EMT, Brian Kellett. Brian wrote under the pseudonym, Tom Reynolds, up until his departure from the service in August last year.

Although Brian no longer works for the LAS and the blog has come to a halt, it is still a great read for those looking to gain some insight into the life of an EMT working in one of the busiest and most populated cities in Europe. The blog provides details of the numerous cases that Brian has worked throughout his career, and utilises a comical style of writing when talking about the job. Brian makes some critiques of the LAS and NHS, some of which may be driven by cynicism that can develop from a long career of shift work in under-funded health services, however this does not detract from reading about his many interesting experiences.

Brian has also written a book compiled from much of his blog: 'Blood, Sweat & Tea', on which a newly released UK comedy-drama series called 'Sirens' has been loosely based. The TV series first screened on Monday the 27th June, 2011. Paramedic Malcolm Woollard comments on the new series here.

With no further ado, and in no particular order, here is our blog roll:

Trauma Queen is a paramedic blog written by Kal, an Accident and Emergency Paramedic in Edinburgh, Scotland.

He writes with passion and emotion about patients and events that he encounters on the road, with a lot of humour thrown in.

If you are thinking about being a paramedic and want to know a bit about what it is like, this is an excellent read. Although it is set in Scotland, and there are differences between the Austrialian and Scottish EMS systems the overall themes presented in this blog are similar to those found in Australasia.

It is also well worth a look if you are a paramedic student already and are itching to get out on road and start using your skills!
