2.0 out of 5 stars
First responder,
By Mike Ferski (US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Responder: Your First Response in Emergency Care (Paperback)
For the most part the book is very educational & easy to follow. Although there are many misspelled words, wrong or conflicting answers. Also, many topic areas taught aren't the way it is in the "real" world. To me it didn't look like the auther did much proof reading prior to it being published. Hopefully, there'll be a better book on the market soon.
5.0 out of 5 stars
