 - Indespensible for the Paramedic StudentI'm in my fifth week of a year-long Paramedic Academy. This book wasn't on any of our lists, either required or recommended. None of our required reading (INCLUDING THE DRUG CARDS IN THE BRADY PARAMEDIC WORKBOOKS) had any helpful, succinct, well organized information on the drugs we needed to know. We were all having trouble with pharmacology, until someone stumbled on this book. We have all found or bought copies at this point, and they are exactly what we needed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Rating:  - Handy BookI would not use this book in the field to determine dosages but it is a nice reference to give you an idea of what the drug is, how it works, and what its used for. Rating: - Invaulable!!!It fits easily into your pocket and is a complete drug reference resource that will cover the drugs of any medical protocol. Rating: - An outstanding field referenceI have used this book in the field and found it to be an asset. This is a must have for any paramedic. The Home Medication section in the back is the most important for me. It is hard to keep up with the new drug out now, never mind remembering what classification they are. I found this very thorough as far as medic field medications and the explanations, interactions, contraindications, etc.. for each. A must for all students. As said in another review, waterproof pages would make this book a 5+. Rating: - Great ResourceThis was on the recommended list of books that we get for my Paramedic class and I decided to get it. It is a great resource for gaining information. I have found it not only usful in the classroom but in the field as well, even when I am working as a Basic EMT at the EMS agency I work for and when I am doing my student time, not only with EMS but in the hospital as well. I highly recommend this book to any EMS student or provider and even any angency as a book to have handy! page 1 of 2
