As an older medic I was amazed at how much I had forgotten. It is very humbling at first to realize that your street knowledge does you very little good when it comes to your clinical base. How 9 years can erode your pathophys. This practice book will flat dial you in to your weaknesses. If you are not sure which book to get to study for your Nationals this is the one. You MUST get BRYAN BLEDSOE'S "EMERGENCY CARE IN THE STREET" 3rd EDITION. They go hand in hand. She refers to this book/edition w/ page #'s, so it takes you right to the answers that you missed. Also makes a great refeference for later. Very HARD CORE, but so is the test. Thank You Charly for doing all the work.

While not the absolute worst review book I've read it runs a close second. There are many errors in this book. A couple that come to mind are this books still says we prophylacticly dose our PT's with lidocaine and that management of an impaled abd object includes removing it so you can inflate the MAST pants (Question #165 Section 4). These are just the 2 I remember most. This is NOT The book for 1st time paramedics takeing National boards.

as i'm getting ready fot nremt-p, I found this book to be the worst..Hardly any scenerios, but many definitions and some wrong..(Give D50 for DKA?) Hmmm....It will make you think you don't understand what you were sure about before..Stick with the others: learning express,mosby refresher, and mcgraw hill pre-test..Then again I have yet to take the test. God Speed & Good Luck...rog

I am the author of this book. Whenever you are buying an EMS book, be sure that you are looking at the most current edition. This book is OUT OF DATE.
