 A Must Have December 10, 2008
A great book for EMT and Paramedics. Great insights in what and how to look at signs and symptoms during assessment. Don't be discouraged about the book being published too long ago. The assessment skills are timeless. It really will teach you how to do a through and rapid assessment and often make a diagnosis within minutes. I have been trying to find more books like this, and have yet to find any as educational.
Good stuff for New Paramedics January 28, 2008

This was a really good book to narrow down the key points of knowledge for assessment. It helps you look out for the major things while staying systematic. Really great book for New Paramedics who want to excel at their assessments.

A "Must Read" for every EMT and Paramedic who spends time 'on the streets'. It gives you the ability to focus on your assessment and minimize your 'on scene' time.
 Good book for reference on assessments. April 18, 2004

If you work in EMS and reading the textbooks on patient assessment, etc. gets a little dry, this book can help with getting the idea of assessments down. It is somewhat short and concise, and lays out the assessments in storyline format. The assessments in the stories are common ones most scene in the field (chest pain, syncope, etc.). The protocols used on the calls are also general and may differ from your area. Again, the main idea is forming a general impression, asking questions and picking up the signs and symptoms the patients may be exhibiting.My 2 main problems with the book are the price (it's pretty expensive for such a short book), and the fact that the author writes about some "Jerry Donnely" like a religious follower writing about their God. It gets to be a little much at some points,... Actually it gets to be too much at some points. If you get past that and get the book used (for cheaper), it can be a good book to break up the monotony of reading textbooks on the subject.

Ive been an EMT for 3 years and I am preparing to go to medic school in the next few months. The book has helped my assessments and thinking outside the box. If the author could pep it up a bit and get away from the dull storyline it could be the perfect tool to increase your assessment performance.
