Good Information

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012

I expected there to be a little more inforamtion in the book and more like a mini textbook. It still has a good resource of information. And it has several stories about the writers experinces. Which was very enteratining.It was a well written little book. The seler is selling it at a good price and under what Paladin themselves are selling it for. Some of the Informatiopn is dated since the book was updated around 1997. There should be a new update to this booklet written to give us a current view of what's going on and ways of handling the situation.

A great companion to the Survivalist's Medicine Chest by the same author. If you want to be truly prepared for when SHTF then these two books are a must. I am now enhancing my preparedness with these two books.

Medicine for make believe ( or my memoir of giving out asprin to goats )

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011

Verified Purchase

This book , written years ago now is about as helpful as reading the back of an anti-diarrhea medicine bottle. Ragnor has many books printed through Palidin press and some might even be helpful...this is not. Save your money and get a copy of " Medicine for Mountaineering" instead. As a Viet-nam era Medic I of course am a bit ahead of the average novice. However, relating how he helped animals out of country once upon a time has little impact on people that may need to use common sense and emergency medicine. Take a CPR course and get on the internet. Amazon is a Great source of medical supplies, from Hemostats to sutures. Use the internet to find tons of useful info, go to your libraby for free. Ragnor should have had this book pulled a long time ago...but why do that when people will continue to buy it in the hope of a little help. I purchased this as research for a book. What a dissapointment ! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK...Ragnor will sell some of his others.

This book gives basic sustainability info in urban or rural disasters, when the pharmacy is closed. Sometimes a little ounce of prevention or preparateness can amke all the difference.

Multiple Errors, Cannot Recommend

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

While I encourage people to learn as much about medical practice as they can (and perhaps even performing some life/limb saving maneuvers when no other assistance is available), I regret that I must recommend that they not purchase this book. The book suffers from multiple flaws,

1. Chapter 2 is a well-chosen list of other medical references that the author recommends. Unfortunately, later in the text, he refers readers to these texts to learn about the basics of diagnosis and treatment of the various conditions that he is discussing. Very few medical conditions are actually discussed in this book... for most conditions, the reader is advised to "consult your library" for the needed information.

2. For the conditions that are discussed in this book, there are multiple factual errors. Some are statements that are outright wrong and many others are recommendations to treat things in a substandard or marginal manner (for example, recommending an antibiotic that turns out to be poorly suited for the task at hand).

3. Some topics are treated in a dangerously superficial manner - for instance, the pages that describe how to attempt to provide general anesthesia.

4. The book was published in 1997 which makes it considerably out of date - particularly with regard to recommendations the author makes about obtaining prescription medications from overseas.

While I commend your interest in learning something about medicine and about what you might do if someone were sick and injured and professional help was unavailable, I feel I must steer you away from this book.

This little book may not have the best reviews but it gave me information about pre surgery anesthesia that I haven't been able to find in any other books . For that alone, I give it high marks. The book is mostly about medicines and not so much about surgical procedures.
