"the treatment is an adrenaline injection. Make sure to have some in stock." Yes, I too always stock adrenaline injections. "in a survival situation, your patient may be stranded without one [inhaler]...administer oxygen to the patient at ten liters per minute, followed by your bronchodilator...finally, give your patient a corticosteroid tablet." WHO CAN STOCK ALL THIS STUFF? I mean, I guess preppers with their own shelters?? But then who are all these "patients"?? This is just way out of my league. I'm just not prepared to try to buy an oxygen tank and adrenaline injectors just in case. I'm sorry.
Hogge been out of the healthcare Field for several years. This book his given Me a great review of emergency practices outside of a healthcare setting.
Filled with practical and useful information. I am not a prepper but I live completely in the country. You would be surprised how often something occurs that needs immediate attention.
I had come across the concept of prepping through some novels as well as the memoir, Educated, so I was interested in seeing how this book would line up with my expectations based on my impressions. This book doesn't feel particularly useful or specific for preppers. Although Griffin writes about how in a global catastrophe scenario, you (the reader) might be the only help that someone will receive, which is how things might differ from a more localized emergency, I felt like the guide was otherwise no different from any disaster response first aid book. I was expecting more creative solutions when a lot more improvising will be necessary, and not just a list of medications and dosages for various infectious diseases.
I guess the whole idea is that you (the reader) are a prepper and will have fully stocked your bunker with all of the necessary first aid supplies, so there will be no improvisation necessary. And thus this book gives you an idea of all of the different supplies you might need. So many of these drugs are not available without a prescription. I wonder if most preppers find a way to get them anyway.
Since I'm not a prepper and live in New York City, of all places, I didn't really find anything useful in this book. It did make me want to get a refresher course on first aid, though, since it has been a long time since I was a certified first responder.
