Mosby's Paramedic Textbook Revised Reprint

This book appears to be fully updated with the 2005 AHA guidelines throughout. I appreciate the topic organization, pictures, diagrams and skills sections.

I used the competing Brady Paramedic Text about three years ago and was shocked at the huge number of contradicitions and outright errors in it. I am a National Registry medic but I recently read this Text in preparing for a written exam in another state that does not offer reciprocity. Mosby's book is EVER SO MUCH BETTER. It has a consistency that aids the learner rather than causing frustration. It reads like it was written by one person, whereas Brady reads like it wass written by three dozen people who never met each other. The Mosby book is articulate and does a good job of explaining new and complex topics to learners with diverse backgrounds. It has chapters devoted to many of the "new" areas of EMS, such as WMD. It makes the difficult topics manageable. For example, the Cardiac chapter, while long, is well written and builds from a clear foundation and focuses on what medics do in the field rather than what cardiologists do in specialty treatment centers. If you have any choice in the matter, take a class that uses this text and avoid those that try to make do with the Brady book.

Only two words, complete and verry simple to understand! My first language is french and I've understood every chapiter of this book!
