Title: Ever wonder why EMS doesn't hold as much respect as FD or PD
Review: Ever wonder why EMS providers don't receive the same amount of respect as firefighters and police officers? EMS is still a young profession and the public does not have a complete understanding of what we do. Kerins' book portrays EMS providers in a less than positive light. The endless complaining and whining about having to respond to calls even during meals did not sit well with me. Perhaps I am wrong, but as an EMT or Paramedic, it is my job to respond when someone is in need. I have also been on a lot of calls that were less than emergent, but in each situation I have always maintained a degree of professionalism. This book hurts all efforts that we EMS providers have made to advance our profession. I wish I could get back the money I spent on this book.
