Book Description
Mosby's Paramedic Textbook, Third Edition is a best-selling U.S. textbook currently used in many Canadian paramedic courses, ranging from Primary Care level (PCP) to Advanced Care (ACP) courses. This book is extremely comprehensive, containing everything in one convenient volume, and updated to reflect the new 2005 emergency cardiovascular care guidelines. It is now packaged with an all-Canadian supplement, The Canadian Paramedic: An Introduction by Robert Theriault EMCA, RCT (Adv.), CCP(F), to cover key areas of concern for Canadian paramedics. The author is a Critical Care Paramedic, a designation not frequently obtained by Canadian paramedics. The topic of professionalism is thoroughly discussed in Chapter 1. Aileen Ashman, the primary author of Chapter 3, is a lawyer, registered nurse, and expert in the field, and comprehensively discusses the medical-legal aspects of paramedic practice in language that is easily understood. 70 - 75% of Glossary terms are uniquely Canadian in that a term has a different meaning in Canada or the terminology itself is different.
