About this listen

When saving lives gets ridiculous…

From the back of an ambulance to the front lines of absurdity, Laughter from the Rig takes you inside the world of EMS like you’ve never seen it before — through the side-splitting, jaw-dropping, “you-can’t-make-this-up” moments that keep medics laughing through the chaos.

Paramedics and EMTs don’t just handle emergencies — they handle the bizarre, the hilarious, and the downright unbelievable. In these true tales from the field, you’ll meet patients with complaints that defy biology, calls that go sideways in spectacular fashion, and partners who are just as unpredictable as the people they treat.

From the possessed porta-potty… to the parrot that dials 911… to the dramatic “fire” that turned out to be a glowing inverter light — it’s all here.

Equal parts comedy and chaos, this book is your ride-along pass to the lighter side of saving lives. So buckle up, because in EMS, the sirens aren’t the only thing wailing.

Warning: Side effects of listening may include uncontrollable laughter, coffee snorts, and the sudden urge to high-five your local medic.
