1.0 out of 5 stars
All form, little function,
By Douglas Burchard (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outdoor Emergency Care: Comprehensive Prehospital Care for Nonurban Settings (Paperback)
Lots of flashy colors and photos but little or no structure to the content.Adjoining chapters are structured differently and written with different "voices" so the book is difficult to read straight through. Many photos seem selected purely for shock value and contribute no substance to the topic. Specific emergency care procedures are rarely set apart from description and assessment. In those rare cases where step by step emergency procedures are set apart with a subhead and in a separate paragraph, they appear as many as ten pages away from the description. Making this generally useless as a reference book. The final insult is that at least a quarter of the entire book isn't indexed. They didn't index scenarios or appendices so the information in more than a quarter of the book can only be found by serendipity.

Great book for Outdoor Emergency Care,
By Timothy J. Heckman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Outdoor Emergency Care: Comprehensive Prehospital Care for Nonurban Settings (Paperback)
I want to state one thing first, OEC (Outdoor Emergency Care) was created for/by National Ski Patrol. The design of this care is to manage the injury and send to the next level care depending on an injury. It was made to go along with class room training. OEC is a First Responder/College level course.I read one of the other reviews and I can tell that they bought the book to try to teach themselves by by reading it. It does cover a lot and is detailed, but I compare it to any other college class where there is assigned reading and lab work. With out one, the other is harder. I highly recommend the OEC training for anyone that camps, hikes, skis, snowboards, bikes, rafting, or other outdoor activity. 11 of 16 people found the following review helpful

Next time, please hire a professional editor,
By B. Cowan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Outdoor Emergency Care: Comprehensive Prehospital Care for Nonurban Settings (Paperback)
I don't think I've ever had a lower opinion of a book before. It is poorly organized, and can't even manage to be consistent in its material. Terms are used several chapters before they are explained, and sometimes not at all. The same tables are printed in a number of different places in the book, but contain conflicting data. It is painfully obvious that it went to print without a single person bothering to proof read it. Unfortunately, it is the required text for a course I am taking. Sometimes we joke about how bad it is, but mainly we are frustrated.
