wilderness medical society practice guidelines,
By roger william sloan (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Medical Society Practice Guidelines for Wilderness Emergency Care (Paperback)
The information on each topic was well organized and levels of care were discussed. I also liked the fact that when there was a difference of opinion concerning treatments each was discussed. There were no illustrations and the book is not a text for teaching wilderness medical care. Even as a trained First Responder I found some of the discussions were very tecnical and called for knowledge beyond the training of most outdoorsmen. It is not a guide for the beginner but rather for those with advanced first aid or medical training.
