Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The whole story Comment: If anyone ever felt that their training was all heart attacks, mass casualty events and cervical spine immobilization then this is the book for you. Advanced Medical Life Support isn't actually an advanced life support course in the same vein as Advanced Cardiac Life Support or Advanced Trauma Life Support. It is however a comprehensive book of 'how' and 'why'. This is the text for all of the situations that don't require a C-collar or an AED. The majority of the book is filled with the vague everyday complaints that leave EMTs wondering. There is a lot going on inside the abdomen after all, and this book will help demystify those processes and leave the EMT with as clear a picture as you could hope for without ultrasound. This book is an absolute must for military medics who are responsible for conducting sick call or going on humanitarian missions. Customer Rating: Summary: Best ALS Review Course Comment: The course (which includes this book) was the best CME I have had in a LONG time -- which covers more than twenty years in EMS. Customer Rating: Summary: MUST HAVE FOR EMT'S MEDICS, NURSES Comment: WILL BENEFIT ANYONE IN EMERGENCY CARE AIDES, EMT, MEDIC, NURSE, EVERYONE ****A MUST HAVE FOR PARAMEDIC CLASS******** More Reviews
