Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Decent but overpriced!
The contents are solid, but $32.00 is an outrageous sum for what amounts to an oversized brochure (big print, lots of white space and only 92 pages long). You will get much better value for your money by buying any of several EMT-B pocket references available. More content, lower price, and a much more convenient form factor. The AAOS should be ashamed of itself for gouging the profession like this.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must have for EMS providers
This book should be read and practiced by every EMS provider. It provides an easy to understand guide to rapid assessment. In today's world EMS providers need to learn new ways to approach patient care quickly and effectively. This book will show you how to do that with confidence. It is an EMS must.
