An adrenaline-fueled read that will stay with you long after you turn the final page, Bad Call is a "compulsively readable, totally unforgettable" memoir about working on a New York City ambulance in the 1960s (James Patterson).Bad Call is Mike Scardino's visceral, fast-moving, and mordantly funny account of the summers he spent working as an "ambulance attendant" on the mean streets of late-1960s New York. Fueled by adrenaline and Sabrett's hot dogs, young Mike spends his days speeding from one chaotic emergency to another. His adventures take him into the middle of incipient race riots, to the scene of a plane crash at JFK airport and into private lives all over Queens, where New Yorkers are suffering, and dying, in unimaginable ways. Learning on the job, Mike encounters all manner of freakish accidents (the man who drank Drano, the woman attacked by rats, the man who inflated like a balloon), meets countless unforgettable New York characters, falls in love, is nearly murdered, and gets an early and indelible education in the impermanence of life and the cruelty of chance. Action-packed, poignant, and rich with details that bring Mike's world to technicolor life, Bad Call is a gritty portrait of a bygone era as well as a bracing reminder that, though "life itself is a fatal condition," it's worth pausing to notice the moments of beauty, hope, and everyday heroism along the way.

PDF Bad Call: A Summer Job on a New York Ambulance with FREE MOBI EDITION!

this is a collection of stories by Mike Scardino when he worked a summer job on an ambulance in Queens to help pay for College. His original intent was to go to Medical School but his experience on the Ambulance cured him of that. The stories take place in the late 60's, early 70's in Queens, NY. I was not expecting this book to be as entertaining and as good a read as it was. The fact that these stories took place so long ago had a lot to do with my expectations. The author either has a great memory or took prodigious notes or both. Each story is a couple of pages long but they are filled with good descriptions and memorable situations and characters. As the title states " Bad Call" , these are his Bad calls from his 4 years on the St. John Ambulance. Some of these stories are humorous, sad and horrifying especially to the author who was 18-21 yrs. old for the stories. Witnessing the frailty of life and the randomness of events leading to Medical intervention seemed to have jaded the author at a young age and left him questioning why alot and considering being an English Major a better life choice. The jacket of the book states that the author now lives in South Carolina but does not mention what he does now. I enjoyed this collection of stories and I feel the author is talented and has a way with words. I would be interested in any further writings of Mike Scardino. If you are a reader of true life emergencies that take place in an urban setting ,you will enjoy this book. If you are looking for insight on experience on an ambulance, though the stories are old they are relevant as the same emergencies still take place today though the equipment and protective gear is better, Recommended.
