Redesigned and revised to meet your needs, the Revised 2003 2nd Edition offers thorough background information and encourages critical thinking skills. In addition to an all-new appendix on Weapons of Mass Destruction, this edition presents EMT skills in a user-friendly, step-by-step format. The Basic EMT also features an integrated series of algorithms throughout the text, allowing readers to see the big picture as they learn about each part of the process. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This is an old version of the bookThis book has the majority of the same info as the new book, but be advised, it is an older version. Rating: - Poorly WrittenI sent the publisher a letter stating over 30 mispellings, and 15+ times in which this book conflicted itself seriously. Not a good book to use. Get Brady's Emergency Care - Much better. Rating:  - AN EMT-B TO BETHIS IS A EXCELLENT BOOK TO USE FOR LEARNING THE BASIC EMT. THIS BOOK WAS USED BY MY PROFESSOR AND 16 OUT OF A CLASS OF 19 PASS THE STATE TEST. SO ADVICE IF YOU GOING TO STUDY TO BE AN EMT USE MOSBY IS THE BEST Rating:  - A worthwhile text and great referenceWhile 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. Rating:  - Poor Learning ToolI 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.
