Curious if anyone has read and has any thoughts on the First Aid Cases book that just came out. Any opinions are welcomed as I am thinking about purchasing the book.

I have read in various forums that it is a GREAT learning tool and actually relatively similar to the real thing in that there are several parts to each case.....I bought the book but haven't looked at it yet!

Similar to what real thing? I took a glance at a friend's copy. It's nothing more than a case-format restatement of various First Aid material.

And the cases are very unflattering. Imagine every single feature of lupus described in paragraph format, and then being asked "so what's the diagnosis?" Duh...
