"Survival Medicine: Navigating Grid-Down Scenarios Without Outside Help"
Dr. Joe Alton, a retired surgeon and co-author of The Survival Medicine Handbook, discusses the importance of being prepared to provide medical assistance in grid-down, long-term disaster situations where professional help may not be available. He emphasizes the need for families to have medical assets and outlines various levels of first aid kits, from individual to community field hospitals. Topics covered include skills for handling medical emergencies, such as wound closure, dental care, and protection from radiation, in the absence of traditional medical resources.
