## Description

The Survival Medicine Handbook: A Guide for When Help is Not on the Way: 9780988872530: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: "EXTREMELY USEFUL, INFORMATIVE, AND CONCISE!" - Within the last 30 years, after working in the health field as a medical professional and obtaining a copy of the first edition of this very helpful guide, this book is outstanding in every aspect as a valuable reference to emergency situations, where no other help is available. Although I have collected hundreds of books that cover this topic, I felt this one is extremely useful for my daughter to have in her home. This handbook outlines several conditions for one to identify with as it offers step-by-step instructions, with solutions for unexpected health problems. This informative guide also prepares for any disaster, where help is not on the way. It is specifically designed for the non-medical professional to help deal and cope with unexpected issues during emergencies. Some of the topics covered are fractures, nosebleed, chest pain, and much more. Dr. Joseph Alton highlights several medical conditions, covering over 100 medical issues. In addition, he provides information on how to handle different situations, what to look for, and how to treat. This is a valuable, essential reference book for every home. Highly recommended!
Review: Head Lice, Food Poisoning and Sewage - Just reading through the table of contents, I knew this is the book that's been missing from my go-to library. Unlike many survival books that focus on gun shot wounds and trauma, the Alton's is 100% practical. In austere scenarios we are likely to face body lice and ticks, food poisoning and even how to deal with sewage. Influenza and other viruses. This book has those and hundreds more of important topics. Yes, it has the usual, but it covers things other books don't....that are all likely to occur in a grid down situation. Hat tips to the Altons for a fine book and I cant praise it enough. Covers everything I learned, and didn't learn, as an EMT and more! Very practical and highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend this book more highly
*by S***F on September 15, 2015*

My husband and I live on a farm. Our purpose in doing so was to leave all the trappings of the corporate America lifestyle. With nothing but optimism, we gladly gave up the old lifestyle in favor of the new one. We didn't kid ourselves; we knew it wouldn't be a piece of cake, but we were ready to put in the work. What was the one thing we hadn't considered living deep in the backwoods? Emergency medicine. Our farm is at the top of a mountain and we fall all the time. Most falls result in bruises and nothing more. Twice, however, my falls have required stitches. What if... We often ask ourselves what if questions. What if my husband hadn't been there and I couldn't drive myself to the emergency room? What if he were home and the roads were blocked, which happens in the boonies all the time--especially after a major thunderstorm or a tropical storm/hurricane? We bought The Survival Medicine Handbook both on Kindle (for tips on what to stock up on and to educate ourselves) and the printed version for emergencies. I can't recommend this book more highly. It is really jam packed with extremely valuable information--both for the emergency and for preparing ourselves in the event of one. Every family should have one. Whether you live in the city, the suburbs or in the backwoods, you don't know when access to a hospital will be hindered. It's truly a must have!
