Ambulance Girl (2005) With Kathy Bates
I collect books about anything in EMS. Including this one called Ambulance Girl. To be completely honest, the book sucks. This woman may be great at her profession, a food critic, but she is no writer. The only series of books I ever truely enjoyed was EMT:Beyond the Lights & Sirens and EMT:Rescue by Pat Ivey. Anyhoo, Ambulance Girl. This lady is on an airplane and gives a candy bar to a boy who looks pale, he recovers. She is in awe, and is suddenly inspired that she was meant to save lives. Even though she is squeemish, can't stand sick people, doesn't like blood, and a whole other list of *****y complaints. So she becomes an EMT. Eventually, she decides that since her articles as a food critic inspire people to get fat, that she can inspire people with tales of her depression, weight problems, and jumping from an ambulance and breaking both feet b/c she's so heavy. She writes this horrible book. It's in stores for a few years, and she decides the book isn't enough, she needs the whole world to know that she gave a kid a candy bar, so she casts Kathy Bates to tell her story in a TV Movie, Ambulance Girl. She portrays herself as a Paramedic (B/c nobody on TV plays an EMT, that would be boring) even though she is a volunteer EMT.
Synopsis:
This movie is about a real-life husband and wife team who are famous food critics in which Kathy Bates plays the wife who has a phobia of everything. After coming across a notice in a store window looking for people to take an emergency training course to become volunteers -and wanting to overcome her phobia - she decides to join.
Set to premier on LifeTime - Television for Women
