Worst Jobs on the Frontline - Volume One
This is not one person's worst job.
This is a collection of the worst jobs - gathered from across the frontline, from different people, different days, and different moments where everything went wrong in its own way.
Inside are the calls that still wake people up. The scenes that made no sense at the time and even less sense afterwards. The jobs that were sad, shocking, absurd, darkly funny, or quietly devastating - sometimes all at once.
This first volume focuses on medical emergencies. You'll read about babies and the elderly, road traffic collisions, drug overdoses, mental health crises, sudden deaths, ethical grey areas, and jobs that arrived too late, too early, or exactly at the wrong moment. Some stories are loud and chaotic. Others are slow, silent, and unbearable in their stillness.
These aren't polished war stories or heroic retellings. They're the memorable ones - the jobs people still think about years later, the ones that surface when someone asks, What was your worst job? and the answer isn't easy to give.
Some of the stories are written by the author, Trevor Wain, reflecting his own time on the frontline. Others have been voluntarily shared by contributors who trusted their experiences to these pages. Names may be real or changed, but the moments are real. Nothing here is exaggerated. Nothing needed to be.
There is horror in this book - but it isn't manufactured. It comes from reality: from decisions made under pressure, from outcomes that can't be fixed, from the ordinary settings where the worst things sometimes happen.
This book is the first in an ongoing series. While Volume One centres on medical emergencies, future volumes will expand to include voices from across the frontline - ambulance, fire, police, coastguard, search and rescue, control rooms, and beyond.
Sales from this book support Project W.A.I.N. (Wide Area Intervention Network) - a not-for-profit emergency drone initiative using technology to deliver life-saving equipment faster in rural and hard-to-reach areas.
This isn't one person's story.
It's a collection of the jobs people never forget.
The worst ones.
