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.
 
Beyond the large amount of fiction I read...

2nd edition AAOS First Responder
7th edition AAOS EMT
9th edition Brady EMT
2nd edition Barron's A+P
5th edition Medicine for Mountaineering
2nd edition Wilderness Medical Society Practice Guidelines
3rd edition NOLS Wilderness First Aid
2nd edition Backcountry Medical Guide
Several Large Binders full of years of medical printouts and handouts

PLUS

A variety of non-EMS related medical books, veterinary medicine books, technical rescue books, swiftwater rescue books, search management books, wilderness rescue/survival books, and canine search books. (I am sure I left something out...)

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

I have a bunch of Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler...
 
I don't read books....I wait for the movie to come out

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? ^_^

another rhythms book
ACLS Made Incredibly Easy
ACLS Study Guide

report writing book
many books on midwifery and childbirth
too many other college texts to count - lots of history, psychology, English, Spanish, French, journalism, government, public speaking, my husband's computer & drafting & animation texts...you name it, we probably have it. I even have an LSAT review book for some reason. LOL

I know I have more, but they're not in front of me right now.

I watched Mother, Jugs, and Speed...that's all I needed to know
 
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)
 
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).
 
:( I wanted to see Rid or Vent's list!

Sasha has Medical Physiology by Guyton. Great book.
