Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - This is an old version of the book
This book has the majority of the same info as the new book, but be advised, it is an older version.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Poorly Written
I 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: 5 out of 5 stars - AN EMT-B TO BE
THIS 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: 4 out of 5 stars - A worthwhile text and great reference
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Poor Learning Tool
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.
