Start Your Medical Library Today

By Joseph Parish

You may be asking yourself what other medical survival books you would need other than a good First Aid Manual. The answer is many more then you likely already have. Good survival reference books are hard to come by and good survival medical books are even harder. Regardless of how difficult they are to find a survival medical library is vital when the usual doctors or emergency rooms are no longer at our disposal. Naturally the level of the books that you select will be according to your abilities. You will need both those medical references which provide you with an elementary knowledge of basic medical procedures as well as those which go into more detailed dynamics of medicine. Which ones you ultimately select will be based solely upon the personal opinions which will be available to you. You can find the majority of these books at just about any major book store, Paladin Press or even online through Amazon.com.
