Summary: EMT Without Fear!
Comment: How do you overcome paralyzing phobias that are destroying both your marriage and your life? Jane Stern,famous author and popular culture guru, makes a wildly unorthodox,but both creative and daring choice. "Ambulance Girl"is a highly personal,bold and compelling account of her determination to become an EMT. In pages filled with humor and frankness, Jane shows us it is possible to take control of our fears, while at the same time helping others. After this experience, she says "I now think that I am the type of person who would faint at the sight of a spider but could run into a burning building to save a person. Fear is like a hologram. It seems filled with substance and when you go beyond it you realize it was just an illusion". The story of Jane's extraordinary transformation also makes us think about improving our own lives in an altruistic way. It is truly inspirational, a must read.

Summary: Great read!
Comment: 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....

Summary: Funny? Or uneducated?
Comment: 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.
