    Great and practical book
    This is a very well made and documented emergency medical book, easy to find informations about a particular health problem. Good even for a camping trip for a weekend up to travelling into remote areas for months. Kind of a book to study on before travelling. You can see that it has been written by doctors who are specialised in outdoors travelling.

    Overall a must, but you need to know that it targets people who can have access to advanced materials and medications.
