Being Your Own Wilderness Doctor
About this book
Being your own wilderness doctor for the security of knowing what to do for the best—in case of the worst—a more than first-aid companion that’s always there when a doctor may be too far away.
Angier who knows the outdoors, and Dr. Kodet who knows people—inside and out—team up to present life-saving, panic-preventing information for times when making the right decision is most vital.
Here are trip-saving ways to handle the sometimes painful but rarely serious accident-health problems that can face campers, hikers, and vacationers…cuts, sprains, insect bites, blisters burns. Here’s what to do when a misstep results in fracture, break, dislocation, swelling. Know how a doctor would view symptoms that loom larger as the metropolis recedes; how he’s handle the problem; how to differentiate between minor protests of hard used muscles and signs of serious trouble that call for prompt professional help.
