  - Great Book purchaseGreat seller. On time and book was in new condition. This saved me $40 from the school book store. This is the only way to purchase. Rating: - Great in-depth pre-hospital book.Gives you in-depth information into the various aspects of pre-hospital care. Top notch. Rating: - good study bookThis workbook is a very good study tool for paramedic school. I would recommend every student to purchase this book. Rating:  - Wishy WashyI found this book helpful in some aspects, but it definetly condradicts itself all over the place. In one place, it says that neonatal compressions are to be 5:1 and in another place it says 3:1 - as for my class tests, my teacher used the test manager that came with it, AND we learned 3:1, so I knew that was the answer, but nationally, when I write my certification exam, I dont know what they want to see, because my text book didn't teach me much! It was really easy to look up definetion and the algorithms were good and such...as well as the pictures from actual (or simulated) paramedic calls. But as for the contradictions and spelling mistakes, I can't give this book a very good rating. I highly suggest you invest in another book, it just isnt worth buying this book. Rating:  - Essentials of Paramedic Care....Tragedy, or Not?Well it is true that I have found a few typos already, and that was in the first few chapters. However, after reading the reviews I can show you quite a few typos. This book is good and it was the book of choice by my Paramedic instructor, because he wanted a book that was writen by a real medic, not just a former medic that is now a realestate agent. Anyways, even if the book has errors in it, remember that the most important instruction tool along with your book is your INSTRUCTOR, and how he or she instructs you. The book gives great concepts, knowledge, and how to apply those both to the field. I believe it will be a great preparation for lectures and where I can bring up questions to my instructor. You can't blame your not being prepared for the National Registry test on a book, it is based on you. Here is my advice, if you have a problem or question from the book. "ASK YOUR INSTRUCTOR ABOUT IT." They are the ones that will set you on the right track, That's why Paramedic courses aren't independent studies. Anyways, I believe when I get done with school I will be ready to hit the streets. I believe this book will help me get there, with the help of my instructor of course. |
