Part I of this book includes planning for emergencies. Topics covered are safeguarding your home against accidents, what to tell medical personnel when an emergency situation occurrs and medical charts to fill out for family members.

Emergency procedures, i.e., CPR and the Heimlach Maneuver, are highlighted with red on the edge of the book for quick reference.

Other areas covered are recognizing medical problems, snake and insect bites and sports injuries.

This is a great book to keep with a First Aid Kit.

Very informative and up to date information. I learned a lot more in this book than in taking a first aid class. Illustrations are used when needed to explain how to perform a technique. It is a good tool to have if you want to be prepared for an emergency situation or even if you want to know how to dress a minor wound.

This book is great for when little Jimmy scrapes his knee. This book is great when you have a medical professional 5 minutes away. If you are looking for survival/emergency guide this is not it.

Decent overview for most injuries, doesnt help that 90% of them say "call 911" first, but I suppose they had to put that in there for people who lack common sense. Overall good read and study material if you're interested in the healing arts.

Helpful, lots of information, could be improved with some color photos of certain things, like poison ivy, spiders, etc. to make a positive identification easier.

This book and its delivery was just what I wanted...a basic first aid book. It came in a very few days too. Thanks
