This is a well put together book. If you're going for just NREMT-I, it goes a little too in-depth with the medical terminology & the anatomy & physiology, but other than that, it's a good book.

I recieved this book in a timely manner and in pristine condition. This is the second used book I have purchased through Amazon and have been extremely satisfied. Thank you for your caring service.

The Book was in PERFECT condition, new un-opened as i was told from the books description, The company was fast to answer any questions i had, provided me with FAST Shipping, and also provided me with the tracking information when i asked!!! A++++ thanks so much!!!!

I got my book on-time and in excellent condition....Thank you very much...I needed this book to be on-time so that I could study for my upcoming exams....Thanks again...

This book is a great reference for emergency medical personnel. I am happy that I purchased this item and have been using it almost everyday.

By JMP "Firefighter/EMT"
This book is full of itself! It's riddled with typographic errors and presents facts on too many different levels of intellectual comprehension. In some instances it presents copious amounts of hair-splitting details while in others, omitting pertinent facts when you need them the most. It shifts from presenting information as if you were born yesterday (coupled with those pedantic details) to a presentation geared toward a reader who already has a knowledge-base of a rocket scientist or cardiac surgeon. This seems to be due to a disconnection between the authors of the book and the readers - the firefighter/EMT in the field.

The book appears to have been thrown together with the agenda of flaunting its intellect and association with the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) instead of communicating and teaching the skill of Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured. I find the book frustrating. I wish my on-line EMT course would find a better book to use. Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured is almost useless without a teacher (who learned from a different source) to decipher and present the information in a more learning-friendly way.

This book's next revision would be well served to find a good firefighter/paramedic/writer to help edit its content.
