Excellent, concise intro. Rather unremarkable plot, however. Character development was extremely flat.

Where was the fantasy? I really hoping for a cool main character but got a fib instead. Honestly a great textbook despite my joke

Hyvä kirja, mutta viimeisen kappaleen harjoitustehtävät oli vähän hankalia tulkittavia noviisille, jonka vuoksi yksi tähti pois. 😌

The basics of the electrocardiogram reading are nicely there but the details on the treatments are more lacking. Nevertheless, feels like an excellent starting point!

A great book, simplifies terms, gives you the boost you need to start reading EKGs, has helpful notes and memorizations at the end, as well as tests, recommended for all those who are interested.
