Book Review of Ambulance Girl: How I Saved Myself by Becoming an EMT

Ambulance Girl: How I Saved Myself by Becoming an EMT
Helpful Score: 6


This book was me to a T when I went to EMT school and became a Basic. I even acted like her exactly. I loved one part when they ask her to go get the first in bag (it's a bag that we take with us into every call, it has literally everything you need to start working on a patient) and so she has to find it for the first time in the ambulance, and when she does and brings it to them, she says she presented it like a hunting dog presents a prize duck to its master. That was exactly me. I said if I had a tail it would have been wagging to no end because I found the bag!! It is very funny, it is very true (like I said, this book is me to a T when I started the school and my job as an EMT) and it does give you an insight into a woman who takes on this job and what she has to go through.
