68W advanced field craft : combat medic skills

Editor Bond (Center for Pre-Deployment Medicine, Army Department Medical Center and School) and 17 past and present instructors have compiled a reference and guide for U.S. Army combat medics. The heavily-illustrated and detailed guide to battlefield medicine includes descriptions of the many conditions likely to be encountered in the field, casualty assessment flowcharts, practical medical advice, and a glossary. Each chapter contains case studies to help medics consider what they might do when encountering a similar situation on the battlefield. Skill drills provide step-by-step explanations and visual summaries of skills and procedures. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
