There was zero character development going on at all. The author really liked describing the character’s medical conditions though.

Die Übersetzung ist wahrlich grausam und manchmal wäre man schon froh um eine Verbesserung zu Google Translate.
Das Kurssystem wirft Fragen auf, die Herangehensweise des Buches ist teils inkohärent und bedarf einer Überarbeitung (welche eventuell nach aktuellen bezugswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen existiert, jedoch nicht aufzufinden ist).
Wer Grundlagen nicht versteht wird sie hiermit nicht beherrschen oder anwenden können.

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.
