Yeah, I'm planning on going to the next class.  I was so close last time, just had a few hours of ride time and then go take the tests. 

I am sorry if it's a miss placed topic, I didn't think to put it there.   Just figured why not ask a quick question while introducing myself, lol.

When I was in class, my teacher said we could get in big trouble posting "had a bad day" in regards to a call.   So, I was mislead appropriately...I digress.  

Content has been removed, but that's just poor taste.  Glad it's no longer up.

 Hello everyone!  Brandon here... I was 3 weeks from testing for my EMT Cert, when life threw a curve ball and I had to drop.  

Father was an EMT back in the 70's/early 80's. He helped form our fire/rescue here in town.  I know enough to be useful, but not trained enough to take the lead.

I have a few (million) questions, and not sure where they should go.  

1) Are these worth buying for an addition to a "Emergency vehicle bag"?

"Emergency & critical care pocket guide"

"Emt field guide, ALS version."

2) Anyone have recommendations if the above texts aren't the best? If anybody has other recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your input!....

Note: I'm not planning on going to be a non-certified (dangerous idiot) rogue EMT or anything. My primary function will always be keeping other people out of EMS' way, and doing what I can to help and not hinder.

Better yet, My wife has multiple medical issues and is a  bilateral below knee amputee. So if a situation occurs where I need to help my wife or self....Would these references useful?

So, basically- I'm needing references for good pocket guides or cheat sheets. Good quick reference material/study tools to help me get certified.

Discussion and input is welcome here!

Sorry for all that, but thank you in advance. :)
