[spisco85]

What books do you have in your library to review? I have:
My Basic Book

The last three are ones I bought to expand my knowledge. What do you have at your disposal? Also what would you recommned for a medical terminology, pharmacology, and A&P book?

I love Dr. Guy's podcasts, so I just bought the book to read with the podcasts. I should have it this week. In the podcasts he makes everything so easy to understand... I may not be able to use any of the drugs, but I want to know as much as I can about everything I can.

[Mountain Res-Q]

Mostly comic books! ;-D

Well I didn't want to admit it, but I have three large book shelves, and while one is filled wite EMS, medical, rescue, SAR, and wilderness book... another is filled with Star Trek novels and refernece books (ya know, tech manuals, alien medical guides, encycopedias, etc...)

Ya, I know.. Nerd... I have accepted my unbalanced nature. A huge interest inSci-Fi and a huge love for the outdoors... odd, huh...

 

[Shishkabob]

Well, if we're counting non-EMS related books...

I have a bunch of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler...

Thats' why everything EMS I know came from Third Watch, ER, and (in particular) Scrubs! Go to class, go home, watch a couple hours of Scrubs, go to class, take the tests, pass, get certified... it is a really simple equation. Why waste the money on all those overpriced textbooks? ^_^

[Sasha]

I have Atlas of Pathophysiology that I start to read and stop reading and get side tracked on some other book... from the first couple chapters that I've gotten through, pretty decent.

I have Medical Physiology, same story. No idea who it's by because it is currently missing (probably in the trunk of my car.)

and I have Dubin's EKG book... same story.

I have book reading ADHD.

Haha, well I have to admit Third Watch was helpful in gaining an interest in EMS from and early age lol. (next few posts will be about how Third Watch is not the real thing, so I'm telling you now, save it)

 

[mycrofft]

When I was an EMT...

Initially I had the second edition of "Emergency Care of the Sick and In jured" from my class, "Gray's Anatomy", "The Merck Manual", and my purloined from the trashcan USAF T.O. 00-105E-9 (crash rescueman's bible, digrams and vital facts for approach, entry, safetying and shutdown of all USAF and US Army aircraft plus a few airliners and , in the end, the OV-1 /Orbital Vehcle One, aka Space Shuttle). I read "EMT Journal" and until I left USAF "Firehouse Magazine (I was an original subscriber).

 

[daedalus]

I wanted to see Rid or Vent's list!

Sasha has Medical Physiology by Guyton. Great book.

 

[spisco85]

I wanted to see Rid or Vent's list!

I still want too...

 

[mycrofft]

We used Guyton in my nursing school. Never cracked it.

Never went to USAF MedTech school, was waived as an active EMT and E-4 already, so I never had those books. Breyfogel's books on wilderness medicine were instructive, I still have me old one by my USAF Survival "handbook".

ps: T.O. 00-015E-9 is available online as PDF in color:
