Needed for College Class

Required for college class, paperback was twice as much at University bookstore. Even the digital copy at school as way more.

The chapter in ventricular dysrhythmias was more than a little depressing since virtually everything will kill you unless acted upon. On the plus side, I can read a rhythm strip now...
