This book got me through first semester paramedic school.

This book was easy to navigate and very helpful for the assignments given in class. I liked the illustrations and explanations. The questions at the beginning of the chapters really helped guide/ focus my reading and studying. Our instructors must have used them to produce many of our homework assignments. The progression was mostly logical and quite easy to understand.

Must Have

An excellent companion to the previous volumes. Detailed illustrations and wonderful content make this a must have for all pre-hospital care providers. I love it and give it 5 stars..Brady does it again.

A must-have for advanced prehospital care providers!

Although DeGowin & DeGowin is the gold standard of physical examination texts, Bledsoe provides the paramedic student with an excellent background in patient assessment. Most one-volume paramedic texts are somewhat skimpy when it comes to the topic of physical examination techniques. This book is an excellent supplement. It also makes lesson planning easy since it follows the National Curriculum nearly to the letter. I currently use it as a resource for lecture material on the relevant topics for the paramedic and CE courses I teach. There is an incredibly thorough section on physical examination techniques, broken down by body system. It is quite in-depth, even covering ophthalmoscopic, otoscopic, ROM, and advanced neurological exams. Even though the aforementioned techniques are infrequently used in the field, it provides an excellent springboard for paramedics that work in the Emergency Department, as well as those that may wish to pursue the up-and-coming "paramedic practitioner" program that is now on the drawing board at the national level. After presenting physical exam techniques, they are brought together into complete assessments, with rationales presented for each component. This book also includes the standard communication and documentation sections. This book comes highly recommended, as well as volume one of this series. If volumes 3, 4 and 5 continue the tradition, the textbooks will most likely become the premier advanced prehospital education series.
