From the back cover of this invaluable medical and first aid resource:

"Any trip into remote country calls for earnest planning and foresight, including preparing for the possibility of illness or injury. A basic knowledge of first aid can help, but how would you treat an appendicitis attack high on a foreign mountain? What if one of your companions had a stroke, or contracted hepatitis on a boat in mid-ocean? Medicine For Mountaineering, And Other Wilderness Activities [Fourth Edition] picks up where other first aid manuals leave off. Written by a team of climber-physicians, this fully updated edition of a classic provides expert information as well asprocedures on major and minor medical emergencies.
Areas covered include:

• diagnosis, physchology of accidents, preventive measures
• traumatic and non-traumatic injuries and disorders
• environmental injuries - heat, cold, altitude
• diseases, pain, infections, allergies
• medications, medical kits, legal considerations

Authoritative and comprehensive, Medicine For Mountaineering, And Other Wilderness Activities [Fourth Edition] should be on the equipment list of any biker, climber, boater, and outdoor user who ventures more than 24 hours beyond medical attention.

Editor James A. Wilkerson, M.D. , an active mountaineer and frequent lecturer on wilderness medicine, is a pathologist in private practice in Merced, California. "
