Tactical Emergency Care: Military and Operational Out-of-Hospital Medicine
Patri Friedman's review of the NOLS course he attended reminds me I should mention an emergency medicine textbook I've been meaning to recommend: Tactical Emergency Care: Military and Operational Out-of-Hospital Medicine, a Brady imprint from Prentice Hall.
A few weeks ago, I attended a prototype "mission essential medicine" course, for which this book was highly recommended reading. I was not disappointed. I'd completed an urban EMT course around 15 years ago, and to my recollection had used a Brady manual of the time, but this 1999 military-oriented textbook was an eye-opener. It's densely informative, and would be a useful adjunct to any emergency medical training with wilderness (there's some overlap) and military orientation.
Great ! Have been looking for abook like this for some time.
Will commend when finished reading it.
Hope mass caualty evacuation is covered in time of man made disasters and natural disasters.
