I could not be happier, it is outstanding!,
Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy have written a first of it’s kind, an incredible medical reference in the-previously non-existent-category of collapse medicine.
This book is as all-encompassing as I believe it can be. From respiratory infections to fractures to hypothermia to pregnancy and delivery, the chapters and the knowledge continue. There is even a detailed chapter on suturing; including when-and when not-to close a wound. If you can think of a medical problem that you may have to deal with in a collapse, there’s information about it in this book and more.

Really a 3.5 star book,
I just did the first read through on D&B and it is a good book. There is a great deal of information on herbal pharmacology and the effective use of antibiotics and wound treatment. Where it looses points is on the constant references to other books and youtube videos. I think this book could have been more stand alone given the obvious skill and knowledge of the authors. I would have liked to have seen more on long term care and the austere nature of techniques we would end up using in a post collapse situation. I also think the book could have done without the add for their trauma kit they sell. So while it is a wonderful supplement to whats out there it is not a one stop shop. so 3.5 stars

EXACTLY what I needed,
The wealth of information in this book is astounding. Everything I can think of facing in a “no doctor/dentist” society is covered (short of MAJOR surgeries)- even minor surgical issues (i.e., how to suture). Anything which would require major surgery – well, I may be out of luck – I’m probably not going to be removing an appendix or doing a heart bypass, no matter how many books I read. But anything short of “major” I feel prepared for. Whereas there are references to other books and videos IF you want additional information, it certainly isn’t necessary to consult those as well. I think the author references them for those who want to read/see more of the same. To me, this is a stand alone book and I’m going to order more as gifts. Without a doubt, the BEST disaster medical guide I’ve read.
