Editorial Review: Product Description: You hear sirens wailing behind and pull to the side just as the ambulance breezes past you at a seemingly break-neck speed. You see through the rear windows, the EMT inside is laughing as he converses with the patient. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside? Here is your chance to climb inside and see what really happens beneath the sirens. EMS: The Job of Your Life takes you behind the wheel and into the heart of chaos as you read about the ups and downs of one of the most dangerous professions in the world. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Journey through the Eyes of an EMTDevin Kerin's is very creative at describing various entities within the emergency services sector. There are several of sections where it made me laugh, and there was other sections that made me go "oh really?". I have been thoroughly interested in the emergency services for years, and Devin's art at writing this book, has made me interested in the servicies even more. If you want to read a book where it is "a journey through the eyes of an EMT" then you want to read this book. You will not be disappointed. ...

As a series of shorter stories, it is a fast read and you hardly want to put it down. It'll keep you laughing, especially if you are familiar with the field as I am. Rating:  - The lighter side of EMSThis book is a page turner that you can't put down, if you have any interest in the EMS field. Although if you've been in the field for any amount of time you'd probably run into a lot of what is written in this book. Devin does put a funny spin throughout the book on things that makes you laugh out loud while reading this book though. Buy it it's worth the read. Rating: - Good...but a downer tooIts a realistic look into our world, unfortunate sometimes. Ive followed the authors posted on ems based message boards and after him touting his book - I had to come find it. It was funny, read it all one sitting and is sitting dog-eared at my station right now. Best part - all the radio immaturity. Try as we might to sound like professions - we all goof off, especially on the radios, especially on 'company band' radios. I do agree with a few other posters tho - and would have prefered some more of the "good" ... Read More Rating:  - Why are you still in EMS?I picked this book up after Devin took a job in our area. The intro was very well written and I thought "hey this should be great." But then the book turns into a string of what we would refer to as "bumper stories" - 2 minute tales told while sitting on the front bumper of the rescue truck waiting for the horn to blow. Many of the stories have the feel of "urban legend" having been passed around NJ for decades and morphing over time. And we all know that "real guys" don't talk about emotion ... Read More
