Sembando la duda
Este libro es un graaaan recurso, desde su primera publicación hasta antes se esta última edición. Donde por alguna razón incorporaron temas muy politizados que al dia de hoy lo publicado ya no concuerda con la realidad. Como que las vacunas previenen la infección de Covid 19. Es una tristeza que un recurso que fue diseñado para atender poblaciones sin acceso a un medico preparado empiecen a tener este tipo de cuestiones que ponen en duda la veracidad del resto de la información publicada. Necesitamos reestablecer la confianza.

Great medical guidebook
This medical guidebook should be in every library! It covers vital first aid, preventative health measures (like hygiene and nutrition), and an abundance of information on everything in between. The writing style is easy-to-read and the illustrations are clear. While this book is available for free digitally, it is nice to have a physical copy just in case.
