Good book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Btls: Basic Trauma Life Support for the Emt-B and First Responder (Paperback)
A good book but it would be nice if there was a self test at the end of each section. Not happy with the method of placing a suspected spinal casualty on the board. If the board was placed one third above the head it would allow the casualty to be slide up and into the middle, instead of pushing the casualty across the board and compromising the spine.
