Terrible.
Gave it a shot before I took the AMLS course 2014, decided to give it another shot after the ATLS course the next year, thinking "well, that book wasn't too bad, I probably just didn't give it an honest chance". You effing idiot. I have now tortured myself and finally pulled through page after page of...nothing.
A book filled to the brim with no substance. It did provide an insane detail orientation: 4(!!) pages on intraaortic balloon pump management!! Which stands in stark contrast to the picture on page 41 an old man informing us that the elderly in fact often have gray hair and are hard of hearing. I'd sure love to meet whoever needs that span of bullshit.
Could/should have been a small booklet instead of the meaningless drivel for some 500 pages. Two stars since they managed to sneak in some actual facts, by accident I presume.
