The description said it was good or like new but this book was beyond my expectations. The order arrived before it's estimated date,which worked great. I'm an RT student and this semester is the most difficult part of the program. Getting the books early helped me to get ahead. The book itself is in better condition than what you would buy at the book store!
Has a lot of good information and gets to the point. A great reference for a respiratory therapy program.
I wanted to get a better understanding in approaching the patients. Everything is clearly explained.
