Ride in the back of the ambulance with Sherry Lynn Jones.
Share the innermost feelings of emergency services workers as they encounter trauma, tragedy, redemption, and even a little humor. Sherry Lynn Jones has been an emergency medical technician, emergency room nurse, prison healthcare practitioner, and an on-scene critical incident debriefer. Most people who have observed or experienced physical, mental, or emotional crisis have single perspectives. This audiobook allows listeners to stand on both sides of the gurney; it details a progression from innocence to enlightened caregiver to burnout, glimpsing into each stage personally and professionally.
"Corrections" the third realm of emergency care behind layers of concrete and barbed wire. Join in the dangers, challenges, and truth-is-stranger-than-fiction humor of this updated and revised second edition of Confessions of a Trauma Junkie. In addition to stories from the streets and ERs, medics, nurses, and corrections officers share perceptions and coping skills from the other side of prisons' cuffs and clanging metal doors.

The narrator did an excellent job with this book and I her performance kept me engaged when my thoughts began to wander. Her empathetic performance brought something very special to this book.
Very interesting

This book provides an overview of what motivates someone to become a paramedic and/or a registered nurse. It also goes into quite a bit of detail on how a person in such a profession deals with the trauma that they face each day. Through the author's own experiences, and essays from other trauma professionals, we see how the individuals deal with these experiences.
I had a misconception about the content of this book. I thought it would focus more on individual clinical experiences of the author. Instead, it is a much broader coverage of the trauma/emergency care profession. That being said, the book is informative and explains the emotional impact working in such a field entails.
The narration was very good. Kristine M Bowen uses a nice conversational style that I really liked.

Another thing that didn’t sit very well with me was the abuse of acronyms and the consequent explanation of each one. Probably this would have worked better in the printed version and ebook, but it felt awkward in audio. It was a constant rain of acronyms, followed by what they stood for. I would have used the most obvious ones, and maybe substituted the ones that were less popular, or maybe included a glossary. This and the technicalities included in some of the stories made me think the book was aimed at professionals of the medical field, but then other stories were just the opposite, very personal and with little medical content, like the one that included the letter written by her daughter. I think the author could have written two or three different books with this material and get a better-balanced result.
There was too much religion in the stories for me. I appreciated that previous medical reads were more neutral in this aspect, and this is something I missed here.
I am sorry to say that Kristine M. Bowen’s narration was also not my cup of tea. Her narration style did not suit this kind of book, it felt just too matter of fact and perky, even when the events being narrated were heavy or tragic. She often stumbled over the words while reading, and it was quite distracting. There were also some issues with the audio production, like background noises and even music. It didn’t feel very professional.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Disjointed and a subpar narration

Lots of philosophy, for unknown reasons, some being a bit odd.
As a retired long-term hospital and EMS worker, much of this was old news. One new year’s Eve night comes to mind when the natives were particularly restless, and the trauma room floor became particularly sticky with dried blood. One of my co-workers said, “We should write a book!” My rejoinder was to reply that if we did, no one would believe it.
Chapter 19 is wonderful; probably the best part of the book. So many memories came to mind!
Overall, not really outstanding- If you can get past the philosophical expounding.
Chapter 19 !!

Narrator Kristine M Bowen strikes me as a mite too urgent and perky in her performance.
