Book Reviews of First Aid & Safety for Dummies
Book Review: In response
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a copy of this book as well, and I decided to check on the comments of the last reviewer. I didn't find any mention of waiting 1-3 minutes before calling 911 in cases of CPR. In fact, the book makes a point of not putting off calling 911, especially if you haven't practiced CPR before. The book provides natural remedies interspersed in the text. They are noted with an icon next to the paragraph so the reader will know that these are alternatives to regular medicine. I am not an advocate of natural medicine, so I really didn't pay much attention to those paragraphs. I do suggest that anyone really serious in first aid should take a class (from Red Cross, for example). That is the only way you can safely practice CPR before really performing it.
