How could we teach a non-medical person to approach that problemin an effective but simple way?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe considered what medical supplies they would need and howto use them. For long-term disasters, we found natural alternatives that wouldhelp when the conventional medicines ran out. More importantly, we figured outstrategies to do something even more important: How to \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eprevent\u003c\/span\u003e medicalproblems. Prevention will save the family medic both headaches and heartaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt wasn’t easy for a doctor and nurse practitioner to writea medical book that didn’t advise you to head for the nearest hospital orclinic every single time an emergency occurs. Many times, we had to dig intoour collection of 19th century medical books to find methods that might beuseful off-the-grid. We realized that many of these methods weren’t superior towhat modern medicine has to offer. To be honest, some were downright obsolete. Despitethis, we found a number of our ancestors’ strategies that might be useful in afuture catastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the first book was published, we expected that,perhaps, a hundred people might obtain a copy. Imagine our shock when thenumber reached so many more! We greatly underestimated the number of peopleconcerned about the risk of both natural and man-made disasters, epidemics, andterrorist attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeeing that so many already realize the need for medicalpreparedness, the Fourth Edition of the Survival Medicine Handbook spends lesstime trying to make the case for it than previous versions. Instead, the bookcovers more issues than ever before and covers almost every subject in moredetail. Every topic is meant to help the family medic identify, treat, and\/orprevent sickness and injury in \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eaustere\u003c\/span\u003e settings. This may sometimes veerfrom a purely medical aspect, but also include common-sense advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheer amount of information made the Fourth Edition toocumbersome, so you might notice this book is physically larger. This wasnecessary, as every section has been updated or amended in some way. We hopethat this book will serve as a useful reference guide for your family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have always known that whoever accepts responsibility fortheir family’s well-being in uncertain times is a very special person. We hopethat this book will be a useful tool in making them effective in their role asmedical resource. As always, we’re committed to helping them accomplish theultimate goal in survival: To keep it together, even if everything else fallsapart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-extend-content a-expander-content-expanded\" data-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrom the Back Cover:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNY Times andAmazon bestselling authors JOE ALTON, MD and AMY ALTON, APRN are on a mission:to put a medically prepared person in every family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn naturaldisasters, epidemics, and civil unrest, the ambulance might not be heading inyour direction when needed.
