Summary: Needs Update
Comment: The book has much of what you expect in a first aid book. The one problem is that the book hasn't been updated in a long time. One of the treatments recommended was outdated and wrong.

Summary: A must for every home
Comment: This is one of the books Michael Hyatt recommends be in your Y2K library. It is the standard reference for dealing with injury and illness until the patient can get to a doctor.The odds are that every day, people will be injured and you will want to be able to keep them alive and from additional injury. The Red Cross has been a major player in this area throughout the 20th century, and this book is a valuable tool for every household today AND in 2000. The more likely Y2K scenarios will still have medical help available, perhaps just harder to access. Even in the unlikely case where medical care is unavailable, the steps in this book will still be the appropriate first steps for treatment. You may want to find a book on 'wilderness medicine' to cover followup treatment if no doctor is available.
