Comprehensive Complement,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Medical Life Support (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource for those looking to go beyond the basics and enhance their understanding of the medical patient. Subject matter relates even beyond the medical calls. As a volunteer EMS provider, the day after reading about internal organs and referred pain, it helped to raise my index of suspicion of more serious injuries in a trauma patient.
The product arrived promptly and in very good condition.

This review is from: Advanced Medical Life Support (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
It's hard to find certain books geared toward medical professionals that is not written in lay terms. This book isn't the greatest I've seen but it's pretty good at providing the appropriate information at the level a medical professional would understand.

AMLS,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Medical Life Support (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
First of all sign up for NAMET membership its 50$ a year and you become elgible for scholarships. The courses are advanced and often difficult to find since many people aren't certified AMLS instructors. SO This text prepares you for the AMLS course a two day course which has a written and practical portion. If you feel weak in your medical take the course or read the book. Its VERY worthwhile and you will learn something. Everything from skin to neuro with bits of info that sheds new light onto things you thought or were taught. Read the book and you will see what I mean. Its a medical book and how many medical calls does EMS get called for? TOO many. The book is designed to widen your view and include more differential diagnosis. Also to perform better history SAMPLE taking and perceptive to more conditions ie clinical signs/symptoms. 5/5
