Rating:
Summary: Wow!
Review: I have loved Jane Stern's books for years, or more accurately, JaneandMichael Stern's books.I've had "Roadfood," "Square Meals," and more.In "Ambulance Girl," Ms. Stern stands on her own feet.She undergoes some serious self-assessment, and does the very gutsy thing of volunteering to become an EMT.This book is smart, funny, and brave, just as I have always imagined Jane Stern herself.This deserves to be widely read and widely known. It would be a great gift for all people from 40+ who are faced with creating their second act.

Summary: LOVED THIS BOOK
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this extremely well written book about a middle-aged woman's experience in overcoming her fears and accomplishing what seemed to be impossible. The author has a wonderful style of writing, using humor to enhance her story. My only problem was that when I finished the book, I missed my time with Jane.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I went into EMS as a 37 year old large woman. All the things Jane Stern went through are all so true. I wish I had this book to inspire me when I started. I have passed this book to everyone I know in and out of the EMT profession.

Summary: Great read!
Review: Jane Stern has done a great job of crafting a book that pulls you in right from the start. "How I saved myself by becoming an EMT" in an appropriate subtitle for this book.
Suffering from depression and just about every fear that you can imagine, Jane decided to join the fire department as an EMT, a move that is completely out of character for her...and in doing so, brings us along for the heartwarming and hilarious journey.
This book made me laugh out loud and cheer inwardly...I appreciated her honesty and her humor...sometimes it is the only way to deal with a grave situation.
Overcoming her fears and helping others through her training allows Jane to cast off the costume of a fearful middle-aged woman- and instead don the jumpsuit of an EMT, "Ambulance Girl."
This is an inspiring story, not only for those that live and work in the medical world, but for those that are afraid to try something new or fearful of the unknown. Jane Stern overcame her fears, and in doing so has given us a priceless gem of honesty and insight...imagine what other stories are out there waiting to be told...perhaps you or I will be the ones to tell them....

Review: Jane Stern's story reminds how good it feels to do for others. If you've ever suffered from irrational fears, doubts, phobias .. this book will speak to you in a special way.

Rating:
Summary: Funny? Or uneducated?
Review: Jane Stern's writing is witty, descriptive and informative. However, I was surprised that she would continually use such crude terms for bodily parts and functions. Was it an attempt at humor? I don't know. I found it extremely offensive. It made an intelligent woman appear as an uneducated one.
