Advanced First Aid for Survival: When the Sh*t Hits the Fan YOU Are the Docotr - Paperback
by Tom Sweet (Author)
When the world goes to hell in a hand basket either because of a huge natural disaster, total collapse of society as we know it, or zombies start running around eating everything with a pulse, YOU will become your own, or your groups, "doctor". It will be up to you to diagnose and treat various injuries and illnesses correctly to make sure that you or a member of your group "make it". I have been in the position where I was the only person with medical training in a 500 mile radius, I was "the doctor", and I know first-hand that being able to suture a wound, place an ET tube, start an IV, or put in a chest tube has literally been the difference between life and death. In this book I am going to cover some of the Advanced First Aid Techniques I have used and that are used by Special Operations medics to save lives every day in combat zones around the world.
