Not quite what I’d call a page-turner but I passed my NREMT so I can’t fault it.

Walked out of my test flabbergasted and stunned. They really were not joking about feeling like a pile of doogie after you take the nremt. Now tell me why an online test cannot release results immediately 💔 💔 💔

This book was a wealth of information, and was formatted in a way that allows clear connections between chapters and a good grasp of the material.

Thrilling read. A little gory at times

[Harper Chang · Rating 5 out of 5]

Made me cry, many times. This book was my bible for an entire semester. Not for the feint of heart but a life line for those that need it.

Read this for EMT class but felt like it had to count something.

[Kiana E. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chapters 6-7 are pretty difficult but everything did not make sense until we got to Chapters like 10-19. There were some errors in the book. We have addressed them as a class. Overall very informative. Grateful for the information that was received. Definitely will go back to the book to reference various materials.

WOOHOO PURE LITERATURE

[Elise Phung · Rating 4 out of 5]

holy shit a bunch of people died

[Benjamin Jensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read all chapters that were a part of Unit 1 for an EMT class I was taking. The class was a condensed 7-week course and there were a few things about the instructional approach I was not happy with. I also found myself simply trying to do too much at one time so after taking the exam since I put in the work and feeling happy with what I learned, I dropped the class. While I was looking at pursuing a nursing degree I am now looking at providing comfort in a different way and focusing more perhaps on doing that through the literature and music side of things. I think I have all the right to wander in this life and try different things out right? Sometimes giving it up is not giving up. On to the next adventure. Oh and about the book, not spectacularly written but still does a great job on the instructional side of things.

cover to cover baby!

a bit dry, if I'm going to be perfectly honest. A bit repetitive in the patient assessment sections. Images used were questionable at times. Also the gynecological emergencies chapter used very gendered language. But overall extremely informative.

i’ve never been more committed & more sick of a book in my life…. but could probably recite this in my sleep. would recommend if you weren’t taught anatomy and want to get nerdy about DOT placards and tuberculosis. it got me through the NREMT!

[Shelby Connelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Look….if I have to read a 1600 page book for class it’s going towards my reading goal. 😂

[Abby · Rating 5 out of 5]

If I had to read every page of this behemoth of a book I am going to log it. No smut in it though as an fyi.
