**FAKE/FRAUD** Ranger Medic Handbook, 2011 **FAKE/FRAUD**

Post by RngrDoc75 »

Be advised - there is a fake/fraud Ranger Medic Handbook "2011" being sold/promoted on Amazon.com

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This version is nothing but the 2007 version with a fake 2011 cover. Bottom line is another fake "publisher" trying to make money from the work of others. DO NOT BUY! The Ranger Medic Handbook is copyrighted by Dr Rick Hammesfahr and he negotiated the distribution with North American Rescue Products. ALL proceeds are donated to Wounded Warrior Foundations. The same cannot be said for whoever the fake publisher as he is probably pocketing the cash from the ripped-off work.

On a lighter note - there is indeed an updated version of the Ranger Medic Handbook pending publication. It will be referred to as the 4th Edition.

Thank you Ranger RngrDoc75 for that information. I have obtained the 2007 version and have been reading over it to get an idea about the protocols used in the Regiment. I was looking for insight anyone might have on what other medical information would be good to learn prior to shipping. I am continuing to practice as a NREMT-P till about 2 weeks prior to shipping and making sure that everything is in place so that my recertification will be done prior to shipping out. I was trying to get a head start on learning of possible. I know that I still have to earn my spot to goto RASP as it seems there are no Opt 40 available for 68W right now. I have been continuing to fight with my recruiter over this however, I keep getting told to pretty much be happy with what I have. I just do not want to look like a dumbshit and want to make a good impression so that I can gain that RASP slot from AIT. Thank you for any insight.

Not trying to throw hate steaks in the grill, but thats the reality of it. I was a civilian EMT and a National Guard medic for five years before I made it to Battalion.. and then I went to work for the men who were in Somalia. I thought I was a competent medic, if nothing else. Little did I know that my understanding and application of medicine was woefully short of what was expected in the Ranger Regiment. I did learn quickly, though, because it was like drinking from a fire hose. Your training will definitely give you a leg up

Ranger The Sleepy Doc thank you for the insight. At least I now know that I will have a slight advantage however small. I was looking to see if there is anything that I can study to help me on my journey. With about 85 days left till I ship and no Option 40 therefore no advantage of a Mentor I was trying to do all I can. The recruiter still insists that there are none for a 68W and tells me he is calling the ROC. After reading through the various posts I see that Ranger Goon175 states that most 68W are recruited from AIT. I just want to be prepared to earn my place. Thank you for taking your time on a weekend to respond to my post.

Soon......the "2012" edition will be out soon. Had some issues with copyright changes and......well, there is a war going on and there is only so much time to do things.

My wife is pretty high up middle management at Amazon. I'll see if they can pull it. Not holding my breath though.
