Review: A masterfully authored text, this book provides details and insightful illustrations when necessary. I'd highly recommend this to any person considering a career in the Emergency Medical Services, and also as a review text for those already involved.

Summary: Poor Learning Tool
Review: I was asked to review this text by a group of EMTs at the teaching hospital where I am employed as an ER physician and surgeon. The text contains conflicting information and is not well organized. I would not recommed this text for teaching new EMTs. It could be useful as a review for experienced technicians or paramedics.

Summary: A worthwhile text and great reference
Review: While the information can, at times, be repetitive or confusing, overall the book stresses those skills and topics which are important for prehospital emergency providers. The book is easy to use as a reference, reads at a slightly higher level than many introductory texts, and can be a valuable resource even for an EMT-P. This book does require, however, some direction and sometimes elaboration from from a knowledgeable and organized "Basic" instructor.

Worth owning and using.
