"Don't judge a book by its movie," is a 21st century twist on a timeless kernel of wisdom.  I believe this holds true for the book Ambulance Girl: How I Saved Myself By Becoming an EMT by Jane Stern.  It's a very well-written book that later became a straight-to-DVD movie.  Though the movie only appealed to a small audience, the book is a great read.Stern takes readers through her own journey of personal lows and professional highs.  She starts the story at a very low point in her life when she was gripped by clinical depression, but decided she would force herself to get out and become an EMT.I found the first part of her story ironic.  Here was a person with severe depression and access to a physician willing to write her scripts for plenty of medication.  Sound like a recipe for disaster?  I thought so, too.  I've transported my share of overdoses with the same story line.  Through uncommon perseverance though, she became the provider working in an ambulance instead of the patient riding in an ambulance.Her struggle with EMT class was the first hurdle to overcome."I am having a problem my shrink tells me is often experienced by first-year medical students.  I have every symptom of every disease Frank mentions in the classroom.  I am no longer clinically depressed but instead am dying of everything simultaneously."Stern's honesty and humor are endearing throughout the book.  However, readers interested in the action of EMS or the clinical/social implications of our work may not be thrilled with this book.  Stern becomes pretty vulnerable with her readers at times, and some may see it as whining.  However, I would still recommend it for all FTO's and EMS Managers.  Stern paints a picture of someone coming into EMS to vicariously heal herself by healing others.  Regardless of a manager's view on people who enter EMS this way, the book will offer insight on employees who may be fighting these same battles just below the surface.

This is a book about a woman who becomes an EMT in a Volunteer Fire Dept. in Connecticut at the age of 53. Te woman is author Jane Stern who was already accomplished in other areas of life but not a likely candidate to be an EMT. Beside her advanced age, she is also by her own descriptions, overweight and while an accomplished student , lacking confidence and full of fears. I particularly liked her description of fear; "Fear is like a hologram. It seems filled with substance and when you go beyond it you realize it was just an illusion."(pg.129)  I found this book interesting and humorous , especially her descriptions of her teachers, fellow students and initial patients of her EMS career.  The author goes into details about her personal life including her marriage and the strain her new career imposes on it.  The book is full of interesting EMS stories the author encountered  and it provides a glimpse into the world of First Responders and their eventual acceptance of a perceived outsider who wanted to belong to something bigger than her self. Recommended.

    Finally a woman’s view of EMS!
  

*by N***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2021*

Currently reading, it’s so relatable for me. I’ve read quite a few books from the perspective of male paramedics, stories filled with how PTSD and the system stripped them of their humanity. Here is a woman who has an atypical start in EMS as a woman in her early 50s, with enough issues to make you think she wouldn’t be a good fit. Love her tenacity, and how she overcame fears and phobias to embark on a journey to help others in Crisis. As someone in a very similar situation, I feel like “this is a mirror!”. Beautifully written, engaging, great flow, with context and personal feel. I’m struggling in EMT class and feeling like the misfit. Perfect timing for this book to arrive!
