Though I am not a medical expert, I believe the information within the book was as accurate as it could be so that persons like myself in the general public could easily understand.

I agree because I am not an expert in the medical field but the manner in which the information was presented allowed me to easily understand the concepts. For that, the author did an awesome job of catering for both medical professionals and the general public.

Thank you for bringing that up, you're raising awareness.
I am also not a medical professional, hopefully more of those with the relevant expertise will interact with this post. The author seems to be bringing things home, for people with no medical training. Topics on first aid, or administering any aid for medical reasons, are often daunting so I think the author should be applauded for managing to explain things plainly.

Despite the fact that i'm not a medical student, but i am very pleased with the accuracy of the book. Any reader reading this book will find it very easy to understand because the language used in the novel is very easy.

I think its a good effort by the author tho, even when he doesn't have much knowledge about medicine. It's shows how committed you are to what you are doing. He can do much more better.

I believe the title of this book was "medical handbook." Because the medical area is so wide, I don't expect a manual written specifically for use in medical settings to be 100 percent accurate.

I have not had any prior medical knowledge before the reading of this book so this information is like an eye-opener for me.

The accuracy of the information in the book is not at 100% but it is quite helpful. There are things that aren't completely accurate, but in all, the book is helpful.

While the information mentioned in the book does make sense, I cannot be too sure about the information presented in it since I do not have a medical background and I'm not aware of the right sources to verify the credibility of the information in the book.

Yes, I am satisfied with the level of accuracy william w forgey had in this medical handbook. Basically, it appears to be nearly impossible to have complete satisfaction when writing a book in a wide range of professions.

I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in premedical studies, and I found this book to be accurate. I think what people may be considering inaccurate is just where aspects of medical care have been simplified for people with very little medical knowledge.

By being able to teach and transmit clear knowledge to a beginner or medical aspirant, the william w forgey has done an excellent job. When it comes to the incorporation of medical terminologies, it is nearly impossible for the author to achieve a flawless score based on the content of the book.

The information presented was as accurate as possible in my opinion. We should praise the author's effort because the intended audience is not primarily medical experts. The title of this book, I believe, was "medical handbook." I don't expect a guidebook developed expressly for use in medical settings to be 100 percent accurate because the medical field is so vast.
