A COMPLETE course of Ambulance Instruction, arranged
as the experience of neariy a decade as Lecturer and
Examiner has shown me to be best, will be found in these
pages. The Manual is intended to serve not only for class .
use, but also as a means of reference in Emergency cases,
and for those using the smaller text-books. It is profusely
illustrated, particularly in the sections in which Anatomical
and Surgical details are treated. Many of the figures have
been reproduced from my Manual of First Aid, for which
they were specially drawn by Dr. Alex. Don. The im-
portant subject of Ambulance Transport is fully discussed
and illustrated.
For the information of Lecturers and Secretaries of
Ambulance Classes, a chapter on Organisation and Man-
agement is added ; whilst candidates entering for examina-
tion will find in the Appendix a series of Test papers
on First Aid. These have been reprinted from papers
set by me during the past six years for examinations
conducted under the St. John, St. Andrew's, and Aberdeen
Ambulance Associations.
I am greatly indebted to Messrs. Charles Griffin &
Company for the use of several woodcuts from their
other publications, and take this opportunity of thanking
Dr. R G. M^Kerron and Mr. D. R. Moir, M.A., for their
kindness in assisting me with the revision of the proof-
sheets and the preparation of the Index.
The review from Amazon.com reviewer
I started ambulance work in 1956, and let me tell you, I wish I had known about this book, it is truly a help to someone just starting into the ambulance profession. Oh - I had my Standard First Aid manual to study, which I did very intently, but this book would have truly helped.
In later years I became a Paramedic, and there was a lot of schooling involved.
In some places this Manual is outdated, but, not in that many. Who ever had the idea to make the manual up, and then did it, should be congratulated on the fine job.
