Customer Reviews

Real Deal Appeal

Roxy Martin's book was an enjoyable read. It's slightly frightening to a potential patient to now have first hand knowledge of how much contempt the medical profession has for patients. I will be on guard in the future, whether it is on my behalf or on behalf of a loved one. This was not a well written book though. Could have used a good proofing for grammar to make it more of a deep, memorable read. Instead, I felt as if I were listening to a good friend over coffee or a beer and hearing a multitude of heart stopping experiences from her exciting and trying career as an Emergency Room Nurse. Again, a very enjoyable and educating read.

Nursing is The Real Deal

Thanks Roxy, for saying everything we nurses have always wanted to say. I appreciate Roxy's candor and no-holds-barred writing. To some readers Roxy may sound like she's the only nurse who can do anything good or right, but let's face it...any nurse worth his or her salt has to have extreme confidence in order to excell. And yes, nursing and the EMS are the only frontline professionals who do make a difference. No other job is as difficult or imperative as theirs. After all, your life is in their hands...let's hope they're more than capable. Thank you Roxy, for the laughs, the tears, and the memories!

real is the Real Deal

Roxy Martin is not only accurate but is a good nurse.Roxy and I lived on the front lines of the ER that she wrote about. The stories are true and funny for human life.Congratulations Roxy for a well written book. You were right on the money!...

A great book

"The Real Deal" brings you into the real EMS system, she doesn't glamorize it like on Third Watch, ER, or Rescue 77. She speaks from her experiences. I have read every ER/Paramedic/EMT books I can get my hands on. And I would highly recommend this book to who ever is planning on going into the EMS (Emergence Medical Services) someday. This book will let you know what being in the EMS system is all about. You cry, you laugh, you have fun. Its like you are right there with Roxy Martin, as she tries to help anyone she can. Its is a book that you can't put down.
