Has several minor inaccuracies that make me wonder how reliable the rest of the information is, including conflicting information within the book itself about correct finger placement for taking a carotid pulse. I’m also unsure who the intended audience is. Sometimes extremely basic first aid procedures are described in detail, other times more advanced ones are simply given as instructions without any explanation of steps or even what a procedure is. This book probably won’t kill anyone but I would highly recommend reading further on the topics rather than trusting this one.

As it's a reference book I'm always reading over and over
