More Confessions of a Trauma Junkie: My Life as a Nurse Paramedic by Sherry Lynn Jones

 Started: 5/13/21

Finished: 5/15/21

Year: 2021 (this edition)

Pages: 130

Genre: Biograpy/Autobiography-Medical

Grade: C

Reason for reading: review for Reader Views

Type: Trade Paperback

Blurb (from back cover): "More Confessions shares the raw and honest feelings of emergency service professionals through true 'story behind the story' revelations. Disclosing experiences from both sides of the gurney. Sherry and other EMS, ER, paramilitary, and firefighter responders walk you along their fragile line of sanity. Using humor as a life raft during perfect storms, workers reflect upon how they endure and survive personal and professional tragedy while trying not to care too much, and what happens when they fail in that attempt. A graduate student in psychology, Sherry is a paramedic, trauma nurse, and crisis interventionist who led a national paramilitary crisis response team and continues conducting crisis management training throughout the U.S."

Opinion: As someone who has dealt with behavioral health crises in her career, I can relate to some of these stories and how humor is used in order to cope.  A more complete review will be posted on Reader Views in the near future.
