Number 01: Abdominal Pain

by Harry Colfer

One in a series of humorous short stories about Jonothan Byrne, an Intensive Care Paramedic responding to emergencies in Brisbane, Australia (3041 words). The books can be read in any order as the number in the title refers to the codes used to dispatch ambulances:
After starting the shift with a patient who had nothing more serious than a broken little toe, Scotty assures Jono that the day can only get better. That is, until they get dispatched to Carseldine Meadows, the caravan site from hell.

About the author

Harry Colfer is the pseudonym of a critical care paramedic who lives and works in Brisbane, Australia. Although his stories are totally fictional, his writing style is very realistic and he maintains a healthy level of paranoia with respect to his anonymity.

Other than the Ambo Tales From The Frontline series, he has written two full length novels featuring the same characters, a murder mystery, Dead Regular, and the thriller sequel, Beneath Contempt. He is currently writing the third novel in the Jono series, High Acuity, with the fourth and final book existing only as ideas, notes, and a title, Show Cause.
