Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Review of First Aid 2008
I have enjoyed using this book so far. It condenses important points very well, and includes easy to remember mnemnonics and pictures. If you med-school has shelf exams it is a great resource to condense your studying so that you cover the most important topics.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Kindle version is a WASTE OF MONEY!
I wanted to give this zero stars, but that is not an option. (This is a review for the Kindle version of the book.)

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Start using this book early

This book will not supplement your text or lecture, but it is really nice to dig out what are the most important concepts I need to understand. The book also offers very helpful ratings for study review books. This is awesome. I first read the ratings in this book and then went to Amazon for more reviews. The downside for me is that there is no color. I ... Read More
