must have for "real" emergencies,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emergency War Surgery (Paperback)
While this is certainly not a manual that would stand alone in most persons emergency/disaster library, it is an absolutely necessary resource if you expect to handle any type of trauma where immediate comprehensive medical care is not available. This is not a "first aid" manual written for the lay person. Without some background in basic medical terms, body systems, etc.and other written resources (Dorland's, any basic A&P book, a Gray's Anatomy,Introduction to Surgery, Mosby's Paramedic manual etc) most people would be lost merely with the terminology. HOWEVER - as the "next step" in real trauma emergency care, along with a field surgical kit, this guide is INDISPENSIBLE. if you wish to splint a broken extremity, any first aid manual will do. If you must SET a fractured bone, because medical care is non existent, this is the book to have. Like wise the care for severe lacerations and GSW's (gunshot wounds). If all you have the stomach for is a field dressing and direct pressure, dont bother buying this book - you will lose your patient anyway. If you truly want to intervene at several levels of care higher - this will help get you there. Start your library with the above basic references and add (IMO) US Army Medical Manual, Signs and Symptoms in Emergency Medicine (Davis) and Handbook of Current Diagnosis and Treatment (Wolliscroft). Then READ THEM and read them AGAIN.

This review is from: Emergency War Surgery (Paperback)
The new title should be: "The Survivalist's Medical Desk Reference".
Arterial surgery in the field? Bullet extraction? Dosage? You got it.

Going to Keep Looking,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emergency War Surgery (Paperback)
I know this book receives a lot of great reviews--that's why I purchased it. But in my opinion, it was a bit disappointing. From the description and reviews, I thought there'd be more techniques shown, but it really is more of a discussion of injuries book. It also keeps assuming that you can evac to a hospital and I was looking for something that didn't end in a trip to the hospital to save the day. I'll keep looking for a better emergency med book.
