 Too thick September 23, 2007

How many pages do you really need to learn how to sit around and wait for an ambulance to show up?
I hate to amend my review with anything suggesting more material in what should be a pamphlet sized production, but why not a chapter on things to discuss while waiting for the ambulance? Maybe some jokes to tell or secret languages to speak so the patient can't understand you while you talk amongst yourselves?
 Fabulous book for the beginner November 14, 2006

As a 30 year old that has absolutely no First Aid knowledge other than dealing with my own children and common sense, this book was really great. I've been using it for the First Responder class I've been enrolled in. Of course, it covers a lot of information and here in CA it does not cover everything that will be on the final exam, but it does come pretty darn close. The book has glossy colored pages all the way through. The CD is mildly helpful. It poses scenarios at you and then a series of questions in which you type up paragraph style answers. Then, it gives a paragraph form answer back at you. Reading their answer helps understand the correct response and the "why" that goes with it. It's not a true/false or mulitple choice style, which I feel is more helpful.
I found a book for assisting in testing out as a First Responder extremely helpful. It was white with a blue border on the cover.

This is a terrific book. It's written at a very basic, reader-friendly level. Likewise, the information is presented in a logical, organized manner. Also, the Student CD-Rom contains tons of extra resources, that really helped me master the material.
A good book for all "emergency heros" September 30, 1996
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is very useful because of its very good pictures andphotographs. You can see all important facts at first sight.That is very good for people who want to review things they have learned some time ago. So that's why I think this is a very good book, not only for all "real" first responders.
