Blood, Sweat- No Fears: Handling Medical Emergencies with Confidence Tim Arnwine

The goal of this book is to illustrate how to recognize signs, symptoms, and proper treatment for emergencies. There are two methods employed to achieve this goal. For educational purposes, I have highlighted the signs and symptoms in rescue stories and scenarios. For quick reference, I have the signs and symptoms in an easy to read list format, followed by a step-by-step treatment procedure for emergencies. There is a chapter explaining applicable laws, vital signs, and a list for a properly equipped first aid kit. Other chapters guide the reader through the various emergencies they may encounter. The chapters cover respiratory and cardiac emergencies; shock; head and facial emergencies; motor vehicle accidents; medical emergencies; drug overdoses; heat and cold emergencies; burns; childbirth; and pediatrics. The final chapter consists of three rescue calls that touched me and gave me a life''s lesson. I believe they will give the reader a perspective of what is valuable.
