1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Learning Tool, May 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic EMT: Comprehensive Prehospital Patient Care (Hardcover)
I was asked to review this text by a group of EMTs at the teaching hospital where I am employed as an ER physician and surgeon. The text contains conflicting information and is not well organized. I would not recommed this text for teaching new EMTs. It could be useful as a review for experienced technicians or paramedics.

By A Customer
This review is from: Basic EMT: Comprehensive Prehospital Patient Care (Hardcover)
Poor organization and focus. Repetitive material sometimes conflicting. Inadequate information in some areas, too much in others. Abandoned this text for another to prepare for national registry.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile text and great reference, October 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic EMT: Comprehensive Prehospital Patient Care (Hardcover)
While the information can, at times, be repetitive or confusing, overall the book stresses those skills and topics which are important for prehospital emergency providers. The book is easy to use as a reference, reads at a slightly higher level than many introductory texts, and can be a valuable resource even for an EMT-P. This book does require, however, some direction and sometimes elaboration from from a knowledgeable and organized "Basic" instructor.

Worth owning and using.
