Rapid Interpretation of EKG's, Sixth Edition

A must have for NP school. Great book. Thanks Amazon for providing the best prices and great services.

This book was somewhat helpful for learning how to interpret EKG's. It could be a primary resource for EMT students. Medical students will probably need a more detailed resource to explain more detailed concepts, such as action potentials. Unfortunately, while searching for this book, I found out that Dale Dubin was convicted in 1986 on drug and child pornography charges, and sentenced to five years in federal prison. You can google "Dale Dubin convicted" or check out snopes.com for the story. The book was good, but if I had know what he did, I would not want to support his book. What a disappointment.

This book doesn't seem to be too bad. I do think it is almost a bit childish in its teaching methods though.

I was told by many paramedics to read this book BEFORE taking an EKG class. I'm glad I listened. It completely breaks down the concepts into a simple, easy to understand format. It can be a bit dry and you need to take a lot of breaks to get through the book, but it makes it so simple to understand. I would highly recommend this book.

This book was recommended by my cardiologist as the best way to help me read 12 leads better. It works. It is easy to read and the knowledge builds page by page. Highly recommended.
