I am hoping to be a medevac pilot in the army, so I thought I would read this book to get some kind of a feel for the civilian side of air ambulance. I found this book to be excellent. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the medical conditions and the way Pat paints such a clear picture of the medevac life. I would give the book 5 stars but some of the sappiness got to me at times. All in all, one of the best books I've read in a while.

Want to take a look at the insides of a Flight Care program and the lives of the medics/pilots/nurses? This is the book, a near to true life account that is wilder than any rollercoaster ride you have been on. Great book, a must for any one interested in EMS. Trauma Junkies absolute must read!

Finally, someone's written a story about us medics. This book really hit home. I laughed. I cried. I lent it to my partner. He loved it too. I hope Pat's working on a sequel!

While reading this book, I was unable to put it down. I felt like I was right there with the crew. I laughed aload and I cried while reading this book. It just kept you reading. I can not say enough about this book. I would refer this book to anyone to read.

This is one of the few books that I have had to read all in 1 sitting! I could not put it down. I laughed out loud, I cried, I clenched my muscles, my heart palpitated, I relaxed. Talk about an all around best read! Everyone should buy one to give for Christmas. Don't know whether you'd get a more true to life book than this one. Definitely shows the life of a flight nurse! A sequel to this story is a MUST! Hope Pat Jensen's fingers have time to fly over the keyboard another time or two.

I loved this book, i was on the edge of my seat the entire time, i could not put it down. I work in the EMS field on a volunteer ambulance service so this book was so realistic. I loved it.

This book is a little slow getting started, but a few chapters into it you don't want to put it down! Also, it has one of those endings that will truly surprise you. I would imagine that this type of book is long overdue for E.M.S. people, as there aren't too many realistic novels dealing with their profession.

I Love reading, especially true medical, have had no problem with the books, it's just the amount of time it takes for it to get here.

En Route: A Paramedic's Stories of Life, Death, and Everything in Between

This is also a great book!!

A little bit to much romance, but TRULY a GREAT READ!!!!!! Shows just how flight EMS works.

I just finished reading this book this week.. Had the book for over a year.. not sure why I waited to read it.. It was an excellent book.. Throughly enjoyed it, couldn't put it down.. except to go to work. I cried when one of the flight medics gets killed by being hit by a car while working a MVA.. Just shows how much they put their lives on the line to save others.. They are by far the everyday heroes we never really get to meet, but they are on the streets and in the air to help save people who suddenly find themselves in trouble.. Speaking from experience from being involed in a MVA. Thank You.
