With clear color photos and a simple descriptive text, Hauert shows the medical novice exactly how to tackle an extensive range of injuries, illnesses, and potentially dangerous situations when urgent action is necessary.Be ready to: ? Administer life-saving first aid when an emergency arises – be it severe bleeding, choking, shock, burns, or frostbite.? Recognize the symptoms of a wide range of common and more unusual illnesses from conjunctivitis and food poisoning to heart attack and appendicitis. ? Treat and medicate a variety of sailing-based injuries such as concussion, broken ribs, fractured fingers, and twisted ankles.Complete with immunization advice, a list of useful contacts while at sea, and suggestions for a comprehensive first aid kit, this is the essential medical handbook for any sailing trip — whether along the coast or offshore.
