A Guide for Doctors,
By
This review is from: The Bioterrorism Sourcebook (Paperback)
Produced by the medical division of McGraw Hill this is a book directed to the medical industry. It is written by two physicians and approaches bioterrorism from the standpoint of the doctor that will be treating the victum of an attack.
The physician is first responsible for recognizing a medical situation that is dramatically different from the patients he normally sees. Then he has to think about the chances of this coming from bioterrorism, and to subsequently notify the appropriate authorities. And of course while this is going on, he is responsible for treating the affected individuals. The book discusses the Big-5 diseases generally believed to be the most likely to be used as weapons: Smallpox, Anthrax, Plague, Tularemia, and Smallpox. Then it covers biotoxins, chemical weapons, finally it covers radiological weapons. The emphasis in this book is treatment. It does not spend much time on things like evaluating the increased likelyhood of some types of attacks when compared with others. |
