Great Book Our teacher Ordered this book for our EMT class(with the work book). Accurate & valuable info. Comes with a CD-rom with learning games and quizes for every chapter. Also a website that comes with it including health simulators, more tests and quizes. Audio glossary and video sims. If your about to take an EMT course or are already in it you should buy this product. Passed MA- State practical and written w/ no problems 1st time.The work book is also a great buy. You cant put a price on education so this price seems perfect.
Good Book but Paperback is not Good I can't believe they made a huge thick expensive book that is only made by Paperback. They should create a Hard Cover because I always carry and drop my Emergency Care during training and Emergency that can ruin the book easily. In regards to the CD, the CD has lack of information. I am expecting that the CD composed of all chapters that is detailed so that students can learn in reading and listening from the CD.
The book has a lot of useful information. However, the CD has lack of informations and the durability of this book is weak.
Emergency Care This edition has everything you need for both review or initial EMT-B course, great info.
Good Investment If you are an EMT you will need good bibliography to learn and understand the diferent skills in your daily job. This book provides you a good source of information in a very easy way to understand. The diferent graphics and pictures are very usefull and help you in your trianing. I have an older edition (5th I think) and when this edition cames out I bought it and I don't regret I highly recomend it.
Excellent textbook This book is very comprehensive. It is packed with so much practical information along with diagrams and real life photos. I highly recommend this book even for the non-student who wants to enrich their own knowledge of basic emergency care.
