Book Description
"With an increase in visits to remote and dangerous locations around the world, the number of serious and fatal injuries and illnesses associated with these expeditions has markedly increased. Thus, so has the need for medical personnel trained specifically to handle the health risks that are faced when far removed from professional care resources." "Expedition and Wilderness Medicine covers everything a prospective field physician or medical consultant needs to prepare for when beginning an expedition. Divided into three parts "Expedition Planning," "Expeditions in Unique Environments," and "Illness and Injuries on Expeditions," - this unique book covers everything that the expedition physician needs to know."--BOOK JACKET.
