Guest guest Posted November 14, 2001 Report Share Posted November 14, 2001 Will you be storing it with you Oxford Handbooks following your next trip??? Bill Book Hi All as promised the review... Well it finally arrived from the US (Spec Ops Forces Medical Handbook). Was it worth the wait? - Probably not. As Steve said the book is pretty bulky for travelling about the same size a Merck Manual, but it has too large rings over the top and opens like a flip chart. Its construction is reasonable and the pages are tear and water resistant but I think it would probably benefit from a plastic cover similar to the medi memo. The rings make for easy handling and keeps the pages lying flat but the also add to its bulk. Content is actually very good, certainly there is plenty of it, cover a multitute of problems (see below) I'd give it the thumbs up for type of content as it certainly would be of use to those of us working in the slightly more remote areas, particularly those that come into a lot of contact with local workforce. Is it worth the 50 odd dollars from the US, probably not, but on the whole it is quite a reasonable and in-depth book (from what I ve seen so far) but a touch expensive for what you get, that having been said if the company are paying......... Sections include Part 1 Operational issues - Unless you are US Mil - Ignore it! Part 2 Clinical process - following the SOAP principle Part 3 General Symptoms This section is quite a good idea, listing symptoms such as the acute abdo or diarrhoea, red eye, joint pain etc and gives you things to look for points not to miss and probable solutions - good as an aide memoir Part 4 Deals with problems by system chapter by chapter- i.e. Cardiac, Respiratory, Blood, Endocrine, Neuro, Skin etc etc Part 5 Speciality areas, podiatry, dentistry, STD, Infectious Diseases, Preventative Medicine, Toxicology Mental Health etc. Part 6 Operation Environments, Dive Med, Avn Med, Heat, Cold Altitude and NBC Part 7 Trauma Part 8 Procedures Part 9 Lab Procedures and various appendixes. On the whole (and I haven't read it fully) I'm fairly pleased with it and I think its a useful edition for the remote medic if you ignore the military chapter at the beginning but if I d seen it prior to purchase the price might make me think twice, that having been said I ve not seem a book this specific for remote medicine containing this amount of different information, i.e. you get trauma books, anat and phys books ect but this seems to hold most things in the one place, the flip design is quite useful too, Anyway I hope the above helps, if it was sourcable in the UK the price may be more competitive which would help. all the best for now Ian Member Information: List owner: Ian Sharpe Owner@...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 Pete, I bought both, the CD was awful, really poor quality scans and Pdf files the medical manual dated back to 1982, it was not the current 2001 version. My advice don't bother with the CD - It really is pants! Rgs Ian Re: Book Save your self $50 on one book, buy the CD with 20 plus books on it for $20.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Hi I have got a copy of ditch medicine.It describes itself as Advanced field Procedures for Emergencies for PHCP'S.It is written by Hugh Coffee. Sections cover the following; Small wound repair Care for infected wounds Decompression and drainage of the chest Intravenous therapy Emergency airway procedures Anaphylactic shock Pain control Amputations Burns Nutritional and Emotional support It has some good case histories but using it as a reference book, I found it hard as it is written like a continuous narrative.There are few sub headings and notes.Some useful charts.It is mainly aimed at survival type medicine/field surgery.Forwhat it costs I think you can get better value for money but its gotsome good pictures but only black and white.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Much obliged, I think I will drop in to the supplier and take a look at a copy before I buy. Is it clinically accurate and how old is your copy as out of date techniques would be a waste of money? Many thanks I will be guided by your advice.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Are there any books like this one for Medics or in particular Dive Medics ?? Scot A. <tt> Hi guys<BR> I know this is a off subject and if Mr Sharpe(e) does not mind:<BR> <BR> Mate of mine has just released a book called 'Gone To Blazes?'<BR> It's a book about life as a fire fighter. Not the usual stuff that you see on Telly, this book is how it is in the raw. It is a book about the 'black' funny side. There is no drama just good fun and full or swearing.<BR> A good laugh (and I'm in it although the names have been changed to protect the guilty!).<BR> <BR> www.gonetoblazes.net is the home page of Dave Stubbings. Dave is a Fire officer (he is my boss but I don't encourage the bast***) who I serve with. Dave has also served with Cumbria Fire Service as a retained FF.<BR> <BR> All proceeds go to the British Fire Service Benevolent Fund. So but one!!!!<BR> <BR> " Gone to blazes gets close to the edge, but then boys will be boys, & who can blame them? An hilarious collection of tales, a real knockout, nice one! " <BR> <BR> H Stracey, former undisputed world welterweight boxing champion.<BR> <BR> " In the often uncompromising Fireground situation humour is sustenance to the Fire-fighter. This book captures the blackest of that humour to entertain you in a worthy cause.<BR> I've been there, done these things & know just how grim the job can be.<BR> Support this book, laugh aloud in public places and aid those that help you when they themselves are in need.<BR> <BR> Senior Divisional Office Rick Lanigan, Chairman of the Cumbria Branch of the NFSBF<BR> <BR> Cheers<BR> <BR> Rod Eglin<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 , My daughter is 10 and is doing the same thing with the sunshine reader thing, I think they have to read all 15 books and they get there name on the sidewalk in front of the media with a star around it. The Librarinen is the one who gave her the book, since she knows about s JRA and told her to read it. I read it along with her. It was very good, I do recommend it for kids over 8 to read it. Or read it to your kids if they cant read yet. got a 100 on the test for it, she is now reading Mister and me, not as interesting to her. Have a good day > Just thought I would pass along a great book. Adam is in 3rd grade and our school every year participates in " Sunshine State Book " which encourages kids to read. In 3rd grade if they read 8 out of the 15 books( the books are pre-picked) they are invited to a party at the end of the year. It is a lot of fun... anyway, the first book we started to read is called, " My Brother Made Me Do It " by Peg Kehret. As he was reading it he came out really excited and told me it is a story about a girl with JRA. How cool is that! Many of the kids are reading this book now and are starting to talk to him about it. Sometimes we just luck out! > V > Adam 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 i think when kids are young they read alot of books they are interested in thats the excitement in reading after my kids started reading i would carry them to the library and see what they checked out this is how i found out about their reading habits i started letting them see what i read also which got interesting to them to school aged kids have a report to do go to the library with them and look over many books one on travel and hobbies when the kids would ask about things i would say well lets go find out and we went to the library still today has that urge to seek more knowledge reading can send you everywhere bios are good see who someone was what they did and why beethoven eistien spelling is off tonight lolol lucille ball tex ritter start with who they see on tv or hear on the radio this is very interesting to the child and when it is similar to what they feel they will seek more and more knowledge kids minds are like sponges is doing a report on someone who lived in the 1930s and 1940s right now i have only a few family who lived that era but that doesnt mean gets out of it that easy lololol i read books alot in my child hood and listened to those who did so we are going to the library to find info on everything about that ERA toughy lolol well the questions are what was used back then that we dont use now what was made better now that was used back then what is absolete now but some still have now different things like that and extra points for the prices of things and any history then lolol this report looks like fun Robbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
