5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, April 11, 2001

By A Customer

The books follow the 1998 DOT down to the last word. The material is layed out great. The cardiology chapter is good but most of us in class had to purchase other books to understand EKG's and the ACLS algo's are out of date. You cant go wrong in the purchase of this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Foundation for Paramedicine!, April 15, 2002

By	Sweet725 (Silverdale, WA) - See all my reviews

An Excellent set that finally manages to cover all the topics needed for a firm foundation in Paramedicine. Explainations and visuals are insync with each other, alot of other Paramedic books out there are quite confusing. Topics covered are relative to the field and explained as straight forward as medicine can get. Paramedic books are often overwelling in presentation or they lack general knowledge and information needed. It was a organized wonderfully and easy to find selective topic. Great for old and new EMS personel. Many Paramedic courses have adopted this 5 volume set as their main text. Brady has provided an excellent informational and educational set of text books. My Basic book was not as easy as these are to take in. Brady created 5 great volumes; Introduction to adavance prehospital care, Patient assesment, Medical Emergencies, Trauma Emergencies and Special Considerations / Operations. They had an excellent staff to compose such high quality textbooks. You can't go wrong with this set of books!
