AMLS Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
When I got the pre-test, it all looked foreign to me. After going through the book and then the class (as and EMT-Intermediate), I was so amazed to learn so much in such a short amount of time! I actually got Intructor Potential on the Final Exam. This is a great book that will not only help you learn more, but think in a totally new way of "Differential Dx". Once you start using what you have learned from the book, you'll be amazed to find out how accurate your own diagnosis is to that of the ER. Great book and highly recommend class as well!
The whole story

If anyone ever felt that their training was all heart attacks, mass casualty events and cervical spine immobilization then this is the book for you. Advanced Medical Life Support isn't actually an advanced life support course in the same vein as Advanced Cardiac Life Support or Advanced Trauma Life Support. It is however a comprehensive book of 'how' and 'why'. This is the text for all of the situations that don't require a C-collar or an AED. The majority of the book is filled with the vague everyday complaints that leave EMTs wondering. There is a lot going on inside the abdomen after all, and this book will help demystify those processes and leave the EMT with as clear a picture as you could hope for without ultrasound. This book is an absolute must for military medics who are responsible for conducting sick call or going on humanitarian missions.

The course (which includes this book) was the best CME I have had in a LONG time -- which covers more than twenty years in EMS.
