Testimonials:

""Just at quick glance, I love. The cross over/alignment to ACLS is great reinforcing and adding to that content. I can't wait to buy my copy when it's out. I’ll discuss with the managers what they might like to order for hard copies to have on the units... Either way, I’ll be buying my own copy." - Sheldon, Clinical Educator, Sault Area Hospital

"I am a visual learner and without pictures, I would not retain as much. Thank you for putting together such a clear and easy to understand learning tool. I am going to pass this on to our Emergency Educator as I know she will be able to use this for training purposes". Oakville, ON.

"This book is amazing. I wish I had it a few months ago when I was trying to understand rhythm strips and treatment. Thank you for making such a challenging topic so easy to understand".  Ajax, ON.
