No one knows what the next disaster will be: earthquake, Coronavirus, flu epidemic, flood, terrorist attack. But everyone should know how to survive a medical emergency if a medical professional isn't available.

From Dr. Joe Alton and Amy Alton ARNP comes an updated edition of their bestseller The Survival Medicine Handbook. This unique medical book is meant to enable the average person to handle injuries and illness in situations in which modern medical facilities and professionals aren't available due to a disaster.

This book is written by America's top medical preparedness experts: Joe Alton, MD, and Amy Alton, ARNP. Their mission: to put a medically prepared person in every family for when medical help is not on the way. Using decades of medical experience, they address, in plain language, dozens of medical issues associated with surviving disasters and epidemics. The Altons also discuss the medical supplies needed to become a medical asset to your family and community as well as alternative and natural strategies for when pharmaceuticals aren't available. Topics include:

• Appendicitis and Conditions that Mimic It
• Urinary Tract Infections
• Mosquito-Borne Illnesses
• Allergic Reactions and Anaphylaxis
• Head Injuries
• Animal Bites
• Snake Bites
• Head injuries
• Kidney Stones
• Dislocations and Fractures
• Nosebleeds
• Pain Medications
• Natural Pain Relief
• And much much more

Most medical books will send you to the doctor or hospital when an emergency happens. The Altons assume that the worst might actually happen--that the average person could be left without medical help in a disaster. With their book, you can keep your family healthy in times of trouble.

Outdoor Medicine is your handy, portable, easy-to-understand guide that helps you to follow the correct course of action. Whether it's illness, injury, or life-or-death conditions, author Patrick Brighton, M.D., FACS, is there to lend his experience in assessing and managing backcountry emergencies.

When thrust into such a situation, the game plan for emergency help has suddenly changed and you are entirely on your own.

About the Doublebit Military Outdoors Skills Series

Military manuals contain essential knowledge about outdoors life, thriving while in the field, and self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, many great military books, field manuals, and technical guides over the years have become less available and harder to find. These have either been rescinded by the armed forces or are otherwise out of print due to their age. This does not mean that these texts are worthless or out of date - in fact, the opposite is true It is true that the US Military frequently updates its manuals as its protocols have changed based on the times and combat situations that our armed services face. However, the knowledge about the outdoors over the entire history of military publication is timeless

By publishing the Military Outdoors Skills Series, it is our goal at Doublebit Press to do what we can to preserve and share historic military works, such as army field manuals (the FM series), technical manuals (the TM series), and other military books that hold timeless knowledge about outdoors life, navigation, and survival. Through remastered reprint editions of military handbooks and field manuals, we can preserve the time-tested skills and institutional knowledge that was learned through hard lessons and training by the U.S. Military and our expert soldiers.

You know it is important that you start building up a stockpile of goods that will sustain you should disaster ever strike and send the world reeling. Natural disaster, financial uncertainty, civil unrest and acts of terrorism are just some of the thing that threaten to turn the world as we know it upside down. We never know what tomorrow holds. With so many possible scenarios, it is a good idea to prepare for anything and everything. Stockpiling food, water, survival gear and basic medical supplies gives you the best shot of living through a catastrophe. Many disasters over the years have claimed the lives of thousands of people. In many cases, it wasn't the actual disaster that killed people, it was the aftermath and utter lack of preparation. Clean water, food and blankets were scarce and people died or succumbed to their injuries because of a lack of supplies. Don't become one of the tragic losses. This book aims to help you come up with a survival plan that will help you live through a disaster by relying on the stockpile of goods you have stashed away. It isn't just a bunch of food and water you need to survive. You also need some basic knowledge about finding and building a shelter should you have to escape your home. There are many facets to surviving a catastrophe. You will find many survival books focus only on food and water, but don't take into the possibility you may have to flee your stockpile and leave it all behind. This book will cover every eventuality and help you prepare for sheltering in place or fleeing and heading for the hills. Don't put off planning for your survival another day. Start making your plans with the help of this book.
