Customer Reviews

Excellent Quality!!

The book got here very fast (just in time for my class) and it was in mint condition! Thank you!!!

Great condition

There was a little high-lighting in the book, but it was in great condition. I would deffinately do bussiness with this seller again.

A compact synopsis of the profession and atypical situations

A well written book for new students or techs who've been out of the trauma loop for a while. Gives complete information on situations that were not taught or encountered in training. Such as a detailed when and why section of patient assessment and a trade drug chart and how it will affect patient cooperation. It also tells you of which type of accident will produce which kind of injury and gives case studies, self-assessment test and answers. The book also covers technical considerations, conversion charts and has positioning and pathology diagrams. But the kicker is it gives you basic patient commands in 5 different languages!! There is much more included that I've probably left out. The only thing that could make this book better is if it had actual photos - but the drawn diagrams are great.
