Survival Medicine Handbook: An Essential Guide for Self-Care
If a disaster were to take away the high-technology we often take for granted, would you be prepared to keep your family healthy? Could you be an effective medic when hospitals are overcrowded and ambulances are heading in the other direction? Can you take charge if you were the highest medical asset left? The award-winning "Survival Medicine Handbook: A guide for when help is NOT on the way," by medical preparedness advocates Joe Alton, MD and Amy Alton, NP, has now been greatly expanded and revised in its 4th edition.
Previous editions of this book have been 1st place winners in the Book Excellence Awards in Medicine, and the latest version features many more topics and almost triple the illustrations to provide the information needed to keep it together, even when everything else falls apart. Dubbed "America's favorite survival medic" by American Outdoor Guide, NY Times/Amazon bestselling author Dr. Joe Alton and Nurse Practitioner Amy Alton have compiled a comprehensive 700-page resource that covers trauma care, first aid, chronic care, medical procedures, and much more.
The Survival Medicine Handbook is written in plain English that anyone can understand, but it's not just another medical first aid book. It's unique in that it assumes a disaster, natural or man-made, has removed all access to hospitals or doctors for the foreseeable future, making the average person the highest medical resource left for their family. The book's goal is to empower you to be effective in that role.
With over 300 topics and 300 illustrations, the 4th edition of the Survival Medicine Handbook covers just about every situation the family medic will encounter in times of trouble. The table of contents includes sections on principles of medical preparedness, becoming a medical asset, medical supplies, natural medicine, the history and physical, hygiene and sanitation, heat, cold, and altitude issues, natural disasters, radiation/biological/chemical events, and a wide range of medical conditions and injuries, from head issues to skin problems, animal bites, and more.
When medical personnel are overwhelmed and modern technology is non-existent, The Survival Medicine Handbook is THE essential book for your home library. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills to keep your family healthy, even when help is not on the way.
