In his introduction, Dave says that "he became an Emergency Medical Technician and started working in the field in order to pay off his credit card bills from college. 19 years later he feels that what they do in EMS is more complicated than "drive around, respond to calls, and save people's lives" . He therefore does not want people to go into this field with erroneous pre-conceived notions, assumptions, and perceptions. Many go into the field and a few short months later leave it, angry at it and the professionals who continue to work in it, because it was not what they expected. This was the inspiration for this book. So that future providers could come into the field better prepared for the day to day grind and with their eyes wide open".I found the book to be well written. What is more, while he does tell 25 things that nobody tells them in the Medical College, he does not chase away people from this field. Rather, he wants people to enter EMS with a full knowledge of what all it involves.*** An honest, real-life intro to the profession of Emergency Medical Service.***  Anyone who has been considering EMS as a profession, or anyone who is interested in EMS would be benefited.*** The book is simple to read and you will enjoy every chapter.*** The layout is good and in keeping with Kindle standards.*** I strongly recommend this book.
