Medicine After the Grid Goes Down

Imagine for a moment that an epidemic, a world war or a super event such as an eruption of the volcano under Yellowstone National Park has taken place. In the aftermath, few people have survived and all of those people are struggling to maintain their health and wellbeing on a day by day basis.

Its not hard to imagine that, after all, is why you have picked up this book. You know all too well that the human race faces more potential disasters than we can count, ranging in severity from a localized incident such as an earthquake to a species destroying apocalypse. Many of us in fact believe that a world changing disaster is a case of which one? rather than if.

In that brave new world, whats the one skill that will be most mourned? Its not farming or husbandry, because those can be re-learned with a little trial and error. Its not building or mending, because those too are so ingrained in the minds of most preppers that they will be widespread even among the few still living. Its not even reading or writing, because the majority of us can already do these things and can pass that knowledge down to the next generation.

The skill that we will bemoan the lack of most often in the aftermath of a huge disaster is, in fact, the ability to administer medicine and first aid. Its not a logical talent that we can simply figure out on the fly, its not something that is understood by a large amount of the population and it quite literally means the difference between life and death. A doctor in the apocalypse will be worth their weight in gold to the survivors around them.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will be lucky enough to find a doctor in such a situation. In this book, we will be looking to fill that gap. Unless you or a family member is a doctor already or you have the good fortune to find yourself stranded with your local GP, medical care is something that you will definitely and desperately need in a world gone wild, one that is full of dangers and potential accidents.

Disaster medicine is not just a skill that counts in an apocalypse, either. In the scenario we just considered, there could be an extreme gap of time between the disaster taking place and the world going back to normal. But even in the case of a smaller disaster, two things remain true:

You will be stranded for at least a period of time without access to medical facilities.

You will be faced with higher levels of danger than you would during an ordinary day, leading to a greater potential for injuries and illness.

The difference between a small disaster and a long lasting apocalypse is that, in the latter, you will not have the choice to hand your patient over to a professional to finish the job. You, and only you, will be able to administer the aid that will hopefully help that person return to full health or, at the very least, give them the best possible chance of survival.

For this reason, we will cover both the basics of first aid and care for common everyday maladies in the pages of this guide. By the time you complete your studies of it, you will feel more confident in your ability to respond to an accident or an illness when there is no ambulance on call to do it for you.

Keep this book safe. For a medical professional, practice comes easy. For you, as you continue your normal life and its normal activities, it will be much harder to tend to your skills.

If you have built or are planning to build a shelter for your loved ones in the case of a wide scale disaster, make sure this book is stored within its library. It will serve as your bible, reminding you of the life saving techniques you may need.

If you are planning an excursion, a vacation or just an extended trip, bring this book with you. Again, you may find yourself grateful for the reminder if your plane goes down, an earthquake hits the city or a chemical spillage causes havoc.

Disasters happen every day. Hurricanes, tsunamis, avalanches and blizzards take a look at the recent news and see how many you can pick out that would have left the people around them dearly in need of medical attention. Note that, for most of these incidents, the emergency services were stretched to breaking point and would have welcomed a helping hand from a knowledgeable bystander if the emergency services had been able to respond in time at all.

The likelihood of a disaster happening near you is just high enough to make medicine an essential skill to know. By arming yourself with the knowledge in this book, you will be preparing yourself to fill that terrifying potential gap in human knowledge in the aftermath of a collapse. You will be the survivor who is worth their weight in gold, because you have the aptitude to administer the aid that is so sorely needed.

We cannot cover every single medical possibility and we cannot replace years of study as a medical student, but we can prepare you for the most likely injuries and illnesses you will face in either a small scale disaster or the collapse of society altogether. This book will specifically cover the problems that are most likely in the aftermath and the solutions that are most likely to be available to you. It wont make you a doctor but it will make you a lifesaver.

Maintaining Your Health

As someone who is interested in making themselves ready to face the worst case scenario, you already know the value of preparation. You know that your chances of survival increase exponentially if you have provided options for water, food and shelter for yourself.
