The Mosby or Brady EMT-B books are closer to what NREMT uses for the tests, as opposed to AAOS, however I think AAOS covers some topics more indepth than the other two. Like David said, use two. Whichever one the course requires you to use, and either the AAOS or Mosby.

Mosby/JEMS is good for EMT-Intermediate/IV (we use Mosby/Jems for PARAMEDIC in my class)
the AAOS Orange Book: CAre and Transportation of the Sick and Injured is the classic EMT-Basic book. It's THE classic book, and the one that started with the profession.

I am about to start my EMT-B training class and we were told that since it was a volunteer organization that there would be no out of pocket expense. and now they are saying that we have to pay out $59.00 for the 9th edition AAOS book. I am trying to get it for cheaper than what they want for it and I cant find anything other than one listing on ebay and that is all. Does anyone know of a website to get it from or a person who would lend it to me for the class. Please I am in need of help

doc,
Your EMS myopia is showing. You're viewing this entire thing through the eyes of "only EMS counts" to you.
Show me two paramedics in a car that can attack a structural fire, or any other fire larger than an incipient one that can be handled...
doc,
When those private businesses run those big vehicles on emergency responses with the legal right to disregard traffic laws, then your example will apply.
Until then, it doesn't.
Tom,
It's been a while, but I have seen the 5th (brown) lead that actually was a bipolar lead designed to add MCL1 to the monitor selection. It is a poor substitute for an actual 12 lead ECG with unipolar chest leads, regardless.
"It's also interesting to note that in the majority of the years, only one or two fire departments have ever made it into the top five in the JEMS competitions."
Right to the heart of the matter - a make-believe competition to determine the relat...
