Author Description

Now, for the first time, you can know exactly what to do in any emergency that you, a family member, or a loved one may experience. No other book gives you as much help as this one. Best yet, it's written by medical experts in everyday, easy-to-read language. This book covers virtually every injury and sudden illness, including heart attack, stroke, and seizures; broken bones and dislocations; burns and bleeding; breathing difficulties and allergic reactions; poisonings, snakebites, and radiation exposure; head and spinal injuries; sudden blindness or double vision; and a foreign body in the eye, ear, or nose. For each emergency, you'll quickly find out: What is the condition? What are its symptoms? What should you do? How is it treated? Throughout the book, you'll find step-by-step help for every emergency; tips for preventing further injury; advice to help parents cope with a child's emergency; and what to do first in an emergency - and what not to do.
