This book is written in a case study format that helps practicing paramedics and paramedic students focus on the presenting signs and symptoms of various illnesses and injuries. In addition to that, each case is followed by a number of questions that one can use to study each illness or injury that is covered in the text. Having been a practicing paramedic for almost a decade, I have found that this book is a great way to refresh some of the "not so common" things we in EMS may be called upon to see in a refreshing, new way. I used this book to prepare for the National Registry of EMT's Advanced Level Exam Oral stations and found it to be wonderful. I'd recommend it highly as a source for teaching scenarios for EMS educators as well.

This is an excellent refresher/review for Paramedics. I like it especially since it teaches/refreshes by giving about 50 patient scenarios. You get to do the assessment, then flip the page and see how well you have done. What is also cool is that the book provides a follow-up paragraph that describes the final outcome for the patient.

This is good to review for your paramedic test, even if this is your first time. It has a little review at the begining of each section and then it tells a case and asks questions with the answers on the next page. I think it is a good book.

I used this book as a way to prepare for the NREMT-P exam. In particular I found it especially helpful to use with a study partner for developing practice Oral Board Scenario Questions. Then we didn't have to worry about developing physiologically sound scenarios..all the background work is done and even an EKG strip is included for each scenario. It is also super useful for solo studying. About the only thing that I think could make it better was if it included a bonus CD-ROM with even more interactive scenarios.

This book was actually fun to read, the scenarios were challenging, and made you really think about patho-phys. The situations were not the "typical" EMS scenarios, to be honest, some of them were rather difficult and complex. As a review for the NEMT-P test (I took my re-test two weeks later), I am not so sure of its value. The NREMT-P test tended to be very detail oriented and about "what step comes next", while this book tends to be "big picture". A great education tool for any level paramedic, but should be used an an adjunct to another testing review source.

Very well written book. I use it on my down time and it refreshes you pretty good in all the interventions you can apply and how to approach different situations. The scenarios are realistic. Id reccomedn it for a down time study guide. Not designed for national or local tests or protocols. just good learning material.

I thought the presentation of the content was great. The case study approach is far better than typical textbook presentation. This is a good book for people coming back to the job after some time away. It also would be a good supplement to the textbooks for students preparing to take the National Registry Exam.

This approach to study is case by case. The review lessons in each chapter are well written and sum up important aspects of each area for review. I loved the case by case approach, It was instrumental to helping me pass the natl registry.

This manual gives scenerios, explains the patient treatment, problems and end result while helping to improve critical thinking skills.

It also works well with one on one instructor-student instruction to walk you through the situation.

This book offered a good review of each chapter and had multiple case studies after each review. A great buy!!
