5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but short of goal..., August 4, 2006

By	Steve Bennett "SAR Trainer" (Westlake Village, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book and DVD is probably the best written text for EMT-B there is. Take the time (a lot!) to read it thoroughly. It does miss the mark if you solely rely on it to take the National EMT-B test: press your instructor's for the many detail's not in this book that are on the test if you want to pass!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's the only choice, May 2, 2008

This review is from: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Ninth Edition (Paperback)

This is the textbook that all EMT-B classes use, it's really the only choice you have. I found the companion study guide very helpful for studying. The 9th edition includes a CD and the on-line resources were great too. I especially like the chapter on Terrorist response, rather interesting comment about society and the times we live in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used books are great, June 25, 2009

This review is from: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Ninth Edition (Paperback)

It was a pleasure buying the used books for my EMT class. It was a fraction of the cost for the course book and two work books. I would do it again and have recommended my friends to do it as well.
