Great True Stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angels of Emergency: Rescue Stories from America's Paramedics and Emt's (Paperback)
This book is a great collection of true stories from all over the U.S. They are able to tell the real stories of medics instead of the Rescue 911 variety. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Emergency Medicine. I am glad that someone wrote a book letting everyone know that not all the patients you encounter will survive despite your best efforts..

This book is more true to life than most,
By Mark Doman (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angels of Emergency: Rescue Stories from America's Paramedics and Emt's (Paperback)
Having read most of the small selection of books relating to EMS.I found this book to be more true to life. In my 16 years experience the last 10 as a Paramedic. I found that I could relate to almost all the stories presented in one way or another. One thing about EMS, We like to tell our stories and listen to others tell there's.These folks did a good job at that.

Alot of work went into this one!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angels of Emergency: Rescue Stories from America's Paramedics and Emt's (Paperback)
Theisen did her homework--interviewing hundreds of "angels". I have a greater respect for paramedics and Emt's now. I'm glad there are people like them in this world!
