A handy guide to field-tested medical procedures for when no doctor is available-from the author of The Neighborhood Emergency Response Handbook. When disaster strikes and no first responders are around, you'll have to rely on your own medical knowledge to survive.

• Gunshot wounds
• Third degree burns
• Radiation exposure
• Broken bones
• Ruptured arteries
• Severed limbs
• Poisonous snakebites
• Anaphylactic shock

The author, an emergency responder, details step-by-step treatment for everything from hypothermia and heat stroke to seizures and cardiac emergencies. Using information from actual military field manuals, this book provides everything you need to keep you and your loved ones safe when there's nowhere else to turn.
