Book Reviews of Ditch Medicine: Advanced Field Procedures For Emergencies

Book Review: Solid no nonsense basics
Summary: 4 Stars

For the cost this is a good reference. It is written in plain english and is easy to understand. It is of particular use to the health care professional that has never operated or has limited experience in austere environments. It has some deficiencies (pictures/drawings are not the greatest, some of the material is dated, no real discussion of permissive hypotension etc...) but these are forgivable in a volume of this size, cost and ease of reading.

It is an essential part of any operational medical library.
