2.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissappointed, January 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mosby's EMT-Basic (Hardcover Version), 1e (Paperback)

I feel this book lacks in very important information to help a student learn the basics of Emergency medical services. It is more pictures and not much information.. Our student pass ratio for the National Registry exam dropped very low the last year that we used this text book. It does not prompt the student to want to learn more. The only positive thing I can say is the reading level is low enough that you could start educating 8th graders on emergency medicine on a level they could understand.I think the quality of material could have been more indepth for a Basic EMT.
