About this listen
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.

"A must read for those who choose to subject themselves to life at its best and at its worst. Sherry offers insight in the Emergency Response business that most people cannot imagine." (Maj. Gen. Richard L. Bowling, former Commanding General, USAF Auxiliary (CAP))
"Sherry Lynn Jones shares experiences and unique personal insights of first responders. Told with poetry, sensitivity and a touch of humor at times, all are real, providing views into realities EMTs, Nurses, and other first responders encounter. Recommended reading for anyone working with trauma, crises, critical incidents in any profession." (George W. Doherty, MS, LPC, president, Rocky Mountain Region Disaster Mental Health Institute)

Poor structure
I'm not trying to take anything away from the author's life experience, it's just that it's very poorly captured in this book. There's a severe lack of stories about the cases dealt with. It felt like I was reading a journal she was asked to keep by her therapist more so than memiors
