4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, just not enough for EMS, January 31, 2008

By	J. Bean - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a very good book, but could use alot more material for paramedics. The phrases were listed very concisely with great pronunciation illustrations. An expanded edition for Paramedics would be great but this book is good for basic interview quesions.
