Number 27: Stabbing

Winner of the SD Harvey Short Crime Story Award 2021 

Jono tries out yoga breathing as a way of coping with the everyday frustrations of the paramedic-hospital interface. He eventually manages to dump off his latest ‘Google Doc’ scholar, and takes the opportunity for a cuppa. But that’s when his crewmate, Scotty, wishes for some real work. Moments later, they’re off responding to a nearby patient who has a central stab wound.
