Improvised Medicine: Providing Care in Extreme Environments

This is a creative and interesting book that is filled with techniques to use when traditional tools are simply not available or when you must provide care outside of your specialty. While the book may be intended more for the Hospital, there are many techniques and ideas that can work well for a paramedic.
