Book Reviews of Wilderness Medicine, Beyond First Aid, 5th Edition
Book Review: Just what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr Forgey provides assessment tips and treatment options for dozens of traumatic, infectious, and environmental ailments encountered outdoors. Recommendations for gear tend to focus on multi-purpose commodities. For example, Percogesic is listed as a possible treatment for muscle aches, a decongestant, or a sleeping aid. This outlook allows for an economical approach and also cuts down on pack weight. The author is quick to point to obvious and practical substitutions such as bandanas and duct tape for bandaging or sugar solutions as an antibiotic ointment. Also, the detailed medication recommendations are dividied into prescription and non-prescription categories, depending on the level of care being provided. Throughout the book the author tries to provide multiple treatment options dependent on the training and gear of the medic, referring frequently to the gear list in the back. Topics covered are numerous and detailed, with treatment ranging from the simple and mundane (vinegar on jellyfish tentacles) to the advanced (suturing techniques). Very happy to have it in my library.
