Jul 01, Justyna rated it it was amazing. It is a great textbook for everyone with little knowledge of emergency medical services and police work: include all aspects, is well organized and serves as a decent overview. Nov 28, Peter Huston rated it it was amazing. Of course, one's opinion of this book will depend on why one chose to read a large, complex textbook aimed to instruct SWAT team medics. Although I bought it a couple years ago, I read it because I am a long time yet lapsed EMT waiting to get into a course next semester.
I wasn't sure what to expect and how much I'd actually get out of it.

Would this provide useful supplementation to the skills and professional knowledge expected of an experienced EMT or would it instead be some sort of "soldier-of-fortune" esque form of cheap thrill seeking voyeurism aimed at "tacticool" wannabes? Fortunately, I was surprised at how much I learned that was actually useful or potentially useful to an ordinary EMT. There's a lot in here. Tactical body armor, not just for an EMT who might wish to wear it, but also for treating patients who are wearing it, how to remove ticks better than I knew, balissstics external and internal , and a thousand and one other odd little things.

Although I expected a thorough review of the TCCC military model of casualty care, it could scarcely be found. The book offers a good overview on intubation, surgical airways and starting IVs.
It peripherally covers many other common, but less critical tasks. I would only recommend this one if I initially thought this book was terrible. I would only recommend this one if you have little medical knowledge and want to focus on learning airway and venous access skills. View 1 comment.
