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.
student: When i was going through college we were required to buy this book for one of our classes. I felt this book was a waste of my money and i don't recommend this book to anyone. I did not find this book helpful or interesting in the least bit.
