   This book is full of itself! It’s riddled with typographic errors and presents facts on too many different levels of intellectual comprehension. In some instances it presents copious amounts of hair-splitting details even as in others, omitting pertinent facts when you need them the most. It shifts from presenting in rank as if you were born yesterday (coupled with those pedantic details) to a presentation geared toward a reader who already has a knowledge-base of a rocket scientist or cardiac general practitioner. This seems to be due to a disconnection between the authors of the book and the readers – the firefighter/EMT in the field.

   The book appears to have been thrown together with the agenda of flaunting its intellect and association with the AAOS (American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons) instead of communicating and teaching the skill of Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured. I find the book frustrating. I wish my on-line EMT course would find a better book to use. Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured is nearly useless without a teacher (who learned from a different source) to decipher and bestow the in rank in a more learning-friendly way.

   This book’s next revision would be well served to find a excellent firefighter/paramedic/novelist to help edit its content.
