Fun EMS Books

[StretcherRunner]

I got a brand new Kindle for Christmas and I'm looking for something new to read. Can anyone recommend any fun or funny EMS-related books?

Emergency Laughter is a pretty funny one. It was written by a member here and I think it is pretty cheap.

It's hard to go wrong with Kelly Grayson's book.

Emergency Laughter is 1.99 for kindle. There are some other books that are "related" when you search for it. I haven't read it yet. Maybe I will borrow it....

Some classics from over the years:

EMT-Beyond the lights and sirens by Pat Ivy (there is also a sequel to it)

Any book by Grayson or Canning

Paramedic by Paul Shaprio

Trauma Junkie by Janice Hudson

Shock Trauma by Pat Jensen (it's fiction written as nonfiction and a bit sappy but I enjoyed it)

Thanks! I'll have to check these out. Anyone read Devin Kerins' books? I saw mixed reviews on his first two "EMS" and it looks like he put a new one out that no one has reviewed yet, so I'm a little hesitant.

Devin was a member here way back in the dark ages.

Another NJ guy.

Lots of stories about UMD crews.

All the more reason for me to check them out, haha. Thanks!

I'll second or third the Peter Canning books - 'Paramedic: On the Front Lines of Medicine' is still my favorite in the genre. Read "Into the Breach" and wasn't a big fan. I'll also recommend Devin's books, they were hillarious and unapologetically irreverent (hopefully you're into that). Didn't realize he had a new one.

I just started reading The Emergency Monologues. The first few stories have been funny. It's a good book for days on the road as the stories are short so you can squeeze in a chapter or two between calls.
