This is a practical book for situations where modern medical help is not available. Most places in the world would benefit from this book. If society as we know it ever failed this book could save your life and your family. First aid training is a must but this book is critical knowledge.

Not overly complicated. Good factual information with a logical breakdown/help/index. Maybe a bit too much "natural" medicine for me as I come from a very strong scientific background. But, hey, if I ever needed it, I'd treat it with the pinch of salt it deserves but when all else fails it gives you an avenue you may otherwise not have had. I hope I never have to need this medical knowledge, but I'm very fglad I bought it.

Within the last 30 years, after working in the health field as a medical professional and obtaining a copy of the first edition of this very helpful guide, this book is outstanding in every aspect as a valuable reference to emergency situations, where no other help is available. Although I have collected hundreds of books that cover this topic, I felt this one is extremely useful for my daughter to have in her home. This handbook outlines several conditions for one to identify with as it offers step-by-step instructions, with solutions for unexpected health problems. This informative guide also prepares for any disaster, where help is not on the way. It is specifically designed for the non-medical professional to help deal and cope with unexpected issues during emergencies. Some of the topics covered are fractures, nosebleed, chest pain, and much more. Dr. Joseph Alton highlights several medical conditions, covering over 100 medical issues. In addition, he provides information on how to handle different situations, what to look for, and how to treat. This is a valuable, essential reference book for every home. Highly recommended!
