Title: Survival & Austere Medicine: An Introduction 3rd Edition
Post by: Jackalope on March 06, 2018, 08:11:27 AM
     This book gives information for instances when there is a long term grid down disaster, or when you're in a remote location and professional medical assistance isn't available.  It was written by a group of medical professionals, and several of the authors are ex-military special forces medics.  It provides lots of illustrations and photos.  Interestingly, it is available in a number of formats.  It is available free as a PDF file: https://corom.org/survival-austere-medicine/ (https://corom.org/survival-austere-medicine/) 

     Because I don't have 100% trust in electronic devices, I purchased a black and white hard cover edition: http://www.lulu.com/shop/discussion-group-rawtwm/survival-austere-medicine-an-introduction-black-white-hardcover/hardcover/product-23509895.html (http://www.lulu.com/shop/discussion-group-rawtwm/survival-austere-medicine-an-introduction-black-white-hardcover/hardcover/product-23509895.html)  It is sold at production cost only, without a mark up, the authors are not making a profit from this book.  The hardcover black and white edition sells for $29.25 USD.  The book is available in other print formats, softcover, color, etc., but the color editions are over $100.00.  At over 600 pages, the book is massive, but full of important information.  The book doesn't substitute as a physician, but it could provide the information necessary to ensure the you or a loved one survives a medical emergency.

  Don't forget the PDF is available free.  Put it on a bunch of USB memory sticks.
