(Part 2) Best health science books according to redditors

Former combat medic (68w) here. That bag is ate up but it's true that the supplies are basically what we use. You can't get the same hands on training we get but you can get the book they give us to train with 68W Advanced Field Craft: Combat Medic Skills.

Those three books were the majority of my study material going in to (successfully) taking the FP-C exam.

The two pieces of flight medicine you'll need are the flight physiology and the critical care medicine. The flight physiology is pretty straightforward. Gas laws, pressures, altitudes, FAA regulations, and so forth. The critical care medicine is a lot more—you'll need the knowledge of an ICU nurse: lots of drips, lab values, central line pressures, and more.

All stuff well worth knowing.

I can't comment on the UC Bootcamp, but if you aren't already subscribed to Urgent Care RAP, I highly suggest doing so. Here you can get $25 off your subscription.

As far as preparing, review the most common UC diagnoses, which honestly could be just about anything lol. I reviewed this book when I first started out and I still use it as a reference from time to time but now I mostly use UTD.

Usually the fire company will pay your EMT tuition including books, so don't buy it, but this is the book you will likely use: http://www.amazon.com/Emergency-Care-Daniel-Limmer-EMT-P/dp/013254380X/

Pocket Medicine is a good one to have, just buy it already you won't regret it!

The best thing I can tell you to do is pay attention and study. EMT is a tough course and there’s an unnatural amount of information crammed into a short amount of time. Get access to whatever book you’re usings online study guide and do the questions. EVERY.SINGLE.QUESTION. And then do them again. The end of chapter quizzes are great to study for the exams as most come straight from there. Get yourself a BLS field guide like this one. I used mine all during school and clinicals. If you don’t know the answer to a question just say you don’t know. Don’t try to bullshit the answer. Don’t make up vitals bc you’re literally dealing with people’s lives. Sorry, that may be more than you wanted to hear but it is what it is. I’ve been teaching EMT-B for about 7 years and the best thing you can do for yourself is just study and ask any and every question you have. Good luck and feel free to PM me any questions you have. I’m more than happy to help.

OT Quick Reference is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

For Gen Surg:

Pestrana's Surgery Notes

Surgical Recall (good for pimping)

ER:

Tintinallis (the manual NOT the big fat EM resident book)

Emergency Medicine Secrets or Tintinalli's pocket size edition

I like the former for studying - it's presented in a Q/A fashion in nice concise chapters. Great read for MS4 and intern year. The latter is a good pocket reference for use when you're on your EM rotation.

edit: formatting

Fail.

The management of patient's with respiratory/airway issues doesn't begin and end with intubation/surgical airways. In fact it encompasses a pretty wide swath of BLS airway maneuvers, proper BVM ventilation, proper medication administration, use of CPAP, SGAs, proper ventilator use, and the use intubation and crics. The fact that you immediately retorted to my comment by bringing up intubating/cric makes me think you have a relatively narrow view of the management of respiratory issues.

Here is something better to ask instead of how many tubes I've had in the last year, why don't you ask me how many people I have avoiding intubating secondary to proper management. Because, to me, that is the mark of a competent practictioner. Obviously first pass success is equally important, but I'll take a medic who can properly manage a pt and avoid a tube, then one who gets one every time.

And again, the management of cardiac pts doesn't begin and end with STEMIs or cardioversions. Even those are pretty straight forward in terms of treatment/management.

The fact is that there are two main types of patients that EMS has the most effect on, those are respiratory and cardiac. Look at any departments meds or equipment and you'll see that probably 80% of the stuff carried on the box are aimed at these pts. So yes these two subgroups are the bread and butter of EMS and to say otherwise is ignorant.

So you seem to me like you're really green, here are some resources that you may find useful in curving your nervousness in managing these patients:

> I was thinking on drawing 50 arms, 50 legs and so on,

This will accomplish absolutely nothing if you aren't sure what you're doing in the first place. So, let's go over a few things to help you with this instead.

Let me tell you a few things that I picked up as soon as I saw your drawings:

• You aren't actually paying much attention to the subject you're drawing; especially if you have a reference, you're going to have to measure up and make sure what you have looks right. There appears to be lots and lots of guessing here, which is a habit you'll have to break if you aren't sure what to guess.
  
• You don't have a good grasp on perspective yet; this can be seen in examples 1 and 4 where you have the figures in such unnatural looking positions.
  
• You have lines in example 1 which seem to be you measuring her height using the head as a reference, which is interesting to me, as you appear to have grown impatient and drawn what you though would make her look better. I think some of the frustration here lies in the fact that her head is too tall, which made the rest of her body not line up the way you wanted it to.
  
• Your muscles look masculine, even with your women, and they also aren't what natural muscles look like.
  
• Your clothing textures are actually decent (some more practice and I think you'll have these down, definitely!), and aren't really much of a weak point for you.
  
  Let's take this apart step by step and see where some progress can be made. First, the face:
  
  
• You know what a face looks like, though you're having some difficultly constructing one. To learn how to actually make a face, one way to do it is by drawing a face head on so you get an idea of how the proportions work. It's also much easier to get a straight on look at a face and make less mistakes along the way, as you'll have the proportions directly in front of you. When it comes to drawing faces at an angle, however, this'll be more difficult, as you won't have the same guidelines to help you. Once you draw lots of faces head on, with practice on value/shading, etc. then it should be easier to construct one in your head and have an idea on what to work on for various other angles you're trying to accomplish. So here's a nice video that can go about showing you how to draw a face from different angles and here's another one that provides commentary along the way, and is a bit more straightforward as well.
  
• Your faces, similar to your muscles, all look very masculine, which tells me you don't know what women look like. I'm more so just pointing this out as something you should work on, so here's an article that goes over differences in drawing faces between men/women it'll take some getting used to at first, but it's something to study and fix before you try getting too involved with faces (otherwise you'll get good at making mistakes, which you don't want)
  
  Next, the body:
  
  
• Okay, you and I both understand that proportions/anatomy aren't a strong point for you. Not to worry, you can fix this! Proko is a great source on YouTube you'll see mentioned a lot here if you're having trouble with anatomy, since he goes over things in an easy to understand fashion. There's also Draw with Jazza whose channel I love, since he goes over material quite well. What may also help here is enrolling in a class in a university or community center that'll allow you to a draw a live model, where you can get feedback from a teacher and other students as well. There's also some books on anatomy, such as Atlas of Human Anatomy (keep in mind this one is not really a tutorial, just something to help give notes on anatomy), and this book, which is a bit more beginner friendly and has more instruction in it.
  
• Instead of trying to simply draw 50 arms and 50 legs, it helps to have some guidance on what exactly you're drawing and how to draw it. This is a clear tutorial that can help with that , and in case you also need a bit of reminding of what limbs are supposed to look like, this here can help you with body proportions so you can make sure your limbs match up, and gives extra tips on how they can do that. One thing I will note as well, is that it's not just your limbs that need work, so don't feel like you should only be focused on them when you work on the body, as you need to make sure the entire human form is comprehensible and works together. What's the point of having nicely drawn limbs if you have a shitty torso, for example. I'll also remind you that drawing limbs is a pain in the fucking ass and that it's not something that you'll pick up quickly (this is especially true of digits, hands/feet were and still are a pain for me to draw!). Speaking of hands, you seem timid when it comes to these subjects, and you're going to want to get over that, since if you don't know much about hands/feet, then many of your gestures won't look as appealing (plus, it's only going to hurt you since you'll get frustrated time and time again trying to get them right). Luckily, Draw with Jazza has a tutorial on those, and you can also purchase a hand mannequin if you'd like some extra help. Another great resource is looking at your own hands/feet, since they're always available and can get the job done in some natural lighting.
  
  Lastly, your (lack of) shading:
  
  
• Since there's no shading to speak of in these pieces, you're doing yourself a huge disservice as you aren't actually drawing the human form, but rather an outline of it (which in itself, isn't giving any details to speak of, which is adding to your lack of success with drawing people). This tells me you either a. aren't too familiar with how to create form, or b. simply don't understand yet understand the importance of shading when learning how to draw. This is all fine and dandy, as this link here will tell you all about form and how to shade properly. Some exercises you can practice for this are drawing objects in real life in shading them, and getting used to not erasing while you do so (when you don't erase, it prompts you to make less and less mistakes further along the road).
  
  And here's a last:
  
  
• Go slow. Drawing is a not a race, you don't have to finish everything within a set time limit. If it's taking you a long time to learn something, don't sweat it. There's no such thing as someone who is good at drawing everything when they first start out. Everyone sucks in the beginning, so it's better to take your time and focus on what mistakes you make so you can take note of how to improve later. And since you want to work with people, which is difficult because a. not only is the human form in itself hard to draw, but you have to make a human body be recognizable since unlike drawing animals, which don't have any particular likenesses that are completely relevant (for example, you can draw a golden retriever, and I can look at it, and see it's a golden retriever because animals don't have that look to them that really separates them), meanwhile humans have facial and body features that are distinguishable to us since we recognize our own species, and b. there can be a lot going on in a human drawing, such as us holding something, wearing certain things, having certain hairstyles, etc. which by themselves can be difficult to master. So taking your time and realizing that it won't be perfect right away will only help you in the long run.

HarvardX has a Neuroscience series on Edx. Prof. David Cox (an amazing instructor) does a great job of explaining all the concepts. Prof. Cox loosely follows the roadmap of "Principles of Neuroscience" (Bible of Neuroscience) in teaching you all about neuro.

As others mentioned, Prof Idan Segev's lectures are also amazing. His course is terrific! A bit more on the mathematical side, but throughly enjoyble.

If you wanna get serious, then may start with "Principles of Neuroscience" ( It is Dense). Or if you wanna take it in a chill manner, I suggest you read "Phantoms in the Brain" (Ramachandran) and/or "In search of memory" (Eric Kandel).

Here's a few more links to things I also found on Amazon

• EMT Flashcard book
  
• 12-Lead ECG: The Art of Interpretation (We used this book during my cardiology semester of Paramedic school)
  
• EMS Pocket Drug Guide
  
• BLS Field Guide
  
• ALS Field Guide
  
• Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide

• A book called "Lights and Sirens: The Education of a Paramedic (Also haven't read this one, but I was recommended it and have heard good things)

There was a similar thread to this a while back that had a bunch of good books in it but I can't seem to find it . The only book I wrote down was

https://www.amazon.com/Minor-Emergencies-Expert-Consult-Online/dp/0323079091

You may want to check out Dr. John Pickering's work. He specializes in voice tx in the transgender population. It looks like he published a book on it https://www.amazon.com/Communication-Therapy-Transgender-Transsexual-Client/dp/1597564702

I've never worked with this population but have heard Dr. Pickering's name before when discussing this population with other SLPs. I don't know if that would be of any help, but hopefully it gets you going in the right direction to finding resources!

I graduated with a similar GPA so I bought this book and looked for schools where the accepted student GPAs were on the lower side. However, just because you're GPA is below the school's average or below their range doesn't mean you won't get an interview! I've been lucky enough to interview at a few schools where the averages are 3.6 or 3.5 - 3.7

also this book -

Minor Emergencies by Buttaravoli is a nice resource.

https://www.amazon.com/Minor-Emergencies-Expert-Consult-Online/dp/0323079091/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=urgent+care&qid=1550879900&s=gateway&sr=8-1

By far the best resource you can have. Never a time when PANCE Prep Pearls isn't relevant. All of my classmates have it too as a supplement, and my professor just said it is "worth its weight in gold" at the end of lecture today. I also will second UpToDate as a great online and app resource.

I also have Sanford's Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy and [Tarascon Pocket Pharmacopoeia 2017 Classic Shirt-Pocket Edition] (https://www.amazon.com/Tarascon-Pocket-Pharmacopoeia-Classic-Shirt-Pocket/dp/1284118991/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510030082&sr=8-1&keywords=pharmacopeia+2017+pocket) as a prescription resource I can keep in my white coat.

Yes! 1) PANCE Prep Pearls, 2) Step-Up To Medicine, 3) First Aid for the Psychiatry Clerkship, 4) Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple, 5) Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Easy.

2) Don't be afraid to change your study habits. You probably won't study the same way you did in undergrad or even post-bacc. It's a whole new ballgame.

It's actually funny that you say that because that's exactly the situation I was in. I was going through some personal issues as I was finishing up school, so I kind of made a point of avoiding fieldwork placements that I assumed were going to be challenging for me. I also didn't think phys dis was a population I was interested in working in. So I did one in mental health and the other in a school district.

So when I first started doing home care I spent a TON of time researching my patients the night before and looking up common interventions before I went to see them. Google is your friend! And I would recommend the Reed Quick Reference book if you don't already have it.

No good company is going to throw a new grad right into seeing patients without some training and shadowing a more experienced therapist. Make sure you ask about training before accept an offer. If it sounds like they're going to throw you out in the field right away on day one; don't accept the job.

And, yes, I work for a large nonprofit hospital system that has their own home care department.

A pocket medical guide that she can keep in her coat. AFAIK this is one of the best ones that doctors use.

These cards are my go to study aid. I love them! The previous edition fit in lab coat pockets, not sure if this edition will but they added a kindle edition.

The uwise modules are designed to go hand in hand with the Beckmann Ob/Gyn textbook. The textbook is excellent and a pretty easy read. I only read the text + UWise questions + UW and did excellent on the shelf.

Link to book: Obstetrics and Gynecology https://www.amazon.com/dp/1451144318/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ElNCxbPM0EJY5

Eric Kandel's Principles of Neural Science would be a great starting point.

Six year program? As in a 3 plus 3 program? Nice!

I too am in the same boat and have asked the same question. From many responses that I've gotten, I'm preparing by by Netter's Atlas, I've heard it's a great supplement to any class.

Netter's Atlas here

If you scroll down you can also see the items that it's frequently bought with...I also purchased the flash cards and the coloring book....when was the last time you could say as in an adult you have an excuse to color in a coloring book!?

Most likely that version. The 13th Edition didnt come out until 2015, I would suggest pairing the 13th edition with the EMS BLS field guide

http://directory.paeaonline.org/ This website can give you some idea of the prereqs for each program, but the info is not always up to date. I used this book
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1976073847/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile to narrow down schools and get an idea of their costs and prereqs then double checked the school websites for clarification or emailed if the website was missing info.

Minimum prereqs

Developmental Psych

Anatomy & Phys 1 & 2 w/labs

Statistics

Bio 1 & 2 w/labs

Microbiology w/lab

Gen Chem 1 & 2 w/labs

Ochem 1 w/lab (not required by all but most)

Good to have and at least one are required by most in addition to those above:

Biochem

Medical Vocabulary

Medical Ethics

Nutrition

Genetics

Pathophysiology

Physics

Additional Bio Classes

This one

At least that's what they used when I was at fort sam. Sounds like you're on an entirely different program though so you may have different curriculum. I would advise against wasting 100 bucks on a book they're going to give you for free though, but if you've got money to burn and have that little confidence in your own ability to learn and pass an army school using the time they give you, that's your deal.

You shouldn't use the position of your larynx to alter the sound of your voice. Ever. It only moves to adapt to the movement of your tongue/bland palate, otherwise it should stay completely relaxed. Stick you tongue out as far as you can and feel how your larynx moves. This is as far as it'll ever need to go.

most students do their nursing pre-reqs in 2 years. I did mine in 3 because I was studying other things. After that much time you tend to forget all the little details from those earlier classes. This book really helped me! You could honestly just study from this book and you would do fine in all the sections EXCEPT FOR VOCAB. i literally memorized every single term in this book. not even a 3rd were on the exam. to supplement i recommend just using google.

anyways i am sure you guys did all just fine :) dont sweat it

EMS Field Guide, ALS Version

In a paramedic program right now, carry this for reference. Also, look up your state's protocols for EMS providers.

I personally picked up this book. You could probably find it used for a lot cheaper.

It's a back of the toilet book. I like that I can pick it up and read up on anything, or read about something specific after a particular call.

It's geared towards ED staff, but the more info the better!

Netter's Atlas if you just want a big book with lots of great drawings of everything.

The text book has all the background information and clinical correlations, but often not as many, or smaller images. Netter's Clinical Anatomy is good if you want something a bit slimmer and simpler that still has all the basic anatomy. If you want something more beefy I highly recommend Moore's Clinical Oriented Anatomy. It's a big book, but it has everything in it you could want.

Manual of Emergency Airway Management

I just ordered it so I can't vouch for it yet but it seems to get good reviews.

A lot of the everyday knowledge needed to be an internal medicine doctor is contained in Harrison's http://www.harrisonsim.com/ Similarly, a lot of the knowledge needed for emergency medicine is contained in Rosen's http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1455706051?pc_redir=1397068775&robot_redir=1 or Tintinalli's http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0071484809?pc_redir=1397103426&robot_redir=1 however I completely agree with the people saying that this is just a fraction of what you learn in medical school and residency. The experience is at least as important, if not more so, than memorizing this info. There are similar books covering every specialty, but for surgical specialties I'd say the experience is even more important than for medicine specialties.

buuuuuut, i like this one, (im on the internship) so we use emergencys haha


good luck on rotations :)

Mosby's is a great book. You may also want to consider Tintinalli's

Tintinalli says to cool the burn first. I highly recommend you review the topic before seeing another patient.

This is a good question - and your situation isn't unique. I can suggest the following: listen to podcasts that are relevant. I can suggest a few - EMCrit, Prehospital and Retrieval Medicine, Sydney HEMS are the ones I listen to. They have great discussion about advanced airway management, including changing ideas in the realm of airway management. Also, read about it. It sounds silly as you just finished medic school, but I can promise you that there is so much more out there on the topic then you were exposed to in school. I've suggested this book before, and I'll suggest it again: Manual of Emergency Airway Management. It's a wonderful place to start when you really want to get good at advanced airway management. Also, run through scenarios, and procedures in your head. Practice airway assessments on patients you'll likely not have to intubate. Use your time at work to learn all the cerebral aspects of managing an airway. It's such a critical skill, we as Paramedics need to be better at at.

Your job, this profession, expects you to be a very proficient "Laryngoscopist". If you only got to preform 1 intubation in school (which boggles my mind! No OR time at all?), then you've got a lot of catching up to do. BUT, knowing you've got work to do to improve is HUGE. Many medics think they know it all, and end up hurting people, and lo-and-behold, eventually they get ETT's taken away from them. You seem to know you need work. Start with my suggestions, and I promise you, you will get better. Just never get complacent.

I'm looking for this book, do you think they might have it?

This seems unnecessary...

They make a product that might help you feel more secure in your skills... I used to carry one of these when I first started in EMS, however, I eventually learned that I didn't ever really use it. I eventually ditched the crutch and crossed one more thing off the list as extra weight with no value to my patients.

I did look at it once for the parkland burn formula for a small child with 3 degree burns... I ended up tossing it aside and calling med control who was able to give me the info. I was also able to get additional orders that benefited the patient while on the line with med control.

One thing I will add, however, is the process of making it will probably be much more useful than the actual card itself.

Online Med Ed for everything

Surgery: Pestana notes (or the Kaplan review book written by him)

IM: As many COMBANK questions as possible, Step Up to Medicine

Peds: This PDF and Case files or Deja Review Peds

OBGYN: The Beckmann text has some questions ripped word for word. Otherwise, I liked COMBANK

OMM: Savarese and COMBANK

Psych: This

Critical Care Transport has a good section on this.
https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Transport-American-Orthopaedic-Surgeons/dp/1449642586

Urgent care - (especially the moonlighting resident)
Minor emergencies - loved it when moonlighting

Minor Emergencies: Expert Consult - Online and Print, 3e https://www.amazon.com/dp/0323079091/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LjydAb3CA9MM9

This is definitely NOT the test OP is taking. The book you linked to is for the NCLEX. OP is taking the HESI A2 Entrance exam. THIS is the book OP needs to buy.

This is literally the textbook we use in school.

We are using This

Just use the one the ACOG puts out...

It's very concise, easy to read and highlights important info

If you're a member of CSMLS/ASCP usually they have free general refresher courses.

Also another option is to invest in the Quick Review Cards They will cost you $60 but will cover everything you need to know in case you switch departments again.

That’s the one you want. The publisher has said that there has been an issue with fake copies on amazon and asks that you buy directly from him. A quick search of the ISBN and you’ll find it. I haven’t purchased it yet but there is going to be an amendment to it for the new blue print.

Assuming my phone formats correctly, here's the Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Review-Medical-Laboratory-Science/dp/0803629567

There is already The Applicant's Manual of Physician Assistant Programs which is pretty comprehensive and written by a couple of practicing PAs from my program. (Mark V wrote like all our study guides and is amazing)

I think it's a pretty niche market if you're looking for an advice book since the one linked is already the go to book and you'd have about no chance of surpassing that book for any real market share.

Which book is that? Is it kandels 'principles of neural science'? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Principles-Neural-Science-Eric-Kandel-x/dp/0071120009

Admission Assessment Exam Review, 3e https://www.amazon.com/dp/1455703338/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xvBIub1CQ9A80

I want to say it was this one but I'll have to double check because my boyfriend bought it on his account. This is the top on Amazon. It's definitely worth the money since I passed with flying colors.

makes up nonsense in a triggered tantrum
I will gladly take care of my own stitches, on my own body, thanks.
''Stitch Yourself Shut- Surgery at Home.''
http://www.instructables.com/id/Stich-Yourself-Shut-Sugery-at-home/
You don't have to be a holy religious icon doctor god to stitch yourself up, or your kids for that matter. Ask any farming family in the real world, hundreds of miles from the hospital. Mock the military field medic who is a deadbeat for helping wounded soldiers in the field as a ''deadbeat''.
Learning how to be valuable in case of emergency is ''being a deadbeat'' hurr durr.
Warning to all redditors... You are not smart enough to read this book. Only doctors are.
https://www.amazon.com/Combat-Medic-Reference-United-States/dp/0763735639
Or this one https://www.amazon.com/68W-Advanced-Field-Craft-Combat/dp/0763786594/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3WJB56SV0TSHY8F8MSAC
Make sure you have no knowledge of any medical care, as a parent, because being educated about medical care is being a ''deadbeat''.
Now you tantrum again and sling insults.
