Be Prepared to Face Any Medical Emergency With This Essential Guide While many first aid manuals provide valuable instructions on how to respond to various medical situations, they may not meet the needs of the average citizen preparing to meet a broad range of medical emergencies, with limited skills, limited supplies, and limited or non-existent support from the Emergency Management System and medical professionals. In this color-photo illustrated manual, veteran survivalist and trained EMT James C. Jones did not create “just another” first aid book. Instead, each subject is approached from the perspective of equipping the untrained citizen to provide care for family members and neighbors, under extremely trying conditions, without expert help. Prepper’s Medical Manual includes basic first aid subjects, such as bandaging, splinting, control of bleeding, and treatment of shock, along with those subjects specifically associated with the needs of those responding to true disaster emergencies. Complete with multiple step-by-step response guides and checklists for stocking personal medical emergency kits, Prepper's Medical Manual can ensure readiness for even the worst-case scenario.
