2.0 out of 5 stars TOO BASIC, December 13, 2001

By	Robert Erskin (FINNEY COUNTY, KS USA) - See all my reviews

This book was much too basic for my review purposes. Also, the questions in this book do not resemble the questions on the NREMT-P test.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Review, August 22, 2003

By	"emt1128" (Indiana) - See all my reviews

I believe this e-book is a very helpful review. Not only does it give questions and answers, but it also gives rationale with references. I give it 4 stars. The only downfalls are that you cannot print the chapters/pages, and that the answers do not include the question...so if you don't remember the question, then you have to go back to look it up. Overall, it is a very good study guide and I would recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars good job, October 8, 2000

By	David Goodell (Plymouth, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews

mr. westfal did and excellent job with this book. i did kind of poorly in my medic class and when it came time for the final i got this review guide and passed with flying colors. especially the cardio section (which i struggled with in class) i had a much better understanding of what i was supposed to know about cardio drugs and reading dysrhythmias on an ecg and interpreting them into which algorythm i am supposed to use. and also there are not as many pasg pants ?'s which is good because in at least michigan they are elimanting the use of the mast pants and the pants are no longer on the ambulance. thank you again for your help mr. westfal, it was much appreciated.
