At some point you will probably have to respond to a medical emergency, and how you respond could save your life or someone else's. You don't have to go to medical school or even learn complicated terms and procedures. All you need is a basic understanding of emergencies – how to diagnose and distinguish them, and what to do and what not to do.
This book is written in clear direct language with a minimum of technical terms so that readers have easy access to vital information, allowing them to act quickly and with confidence. The book includes basic instructions on how to assess the patient and the problem, from cuts, bites and burns through drowning, fractures and poisons, to strokes, heart attacks and head injuries.
