New chapters have been added on the assessment of drug reactions, hazardous waste emergencies, and the AIDS patient.

 Rating:  - Good stuff for New ParamedicsThis was a really good book to narrow down the key points of knowledge for assessment. It helps you look out for the major things while staying systematic.
