Book Reviews of Wilderness Medicine, Beyond First Aid, 5th Edition

Book Review: Badly written and disorganised.
Summary: 2 Stars

This is one of the worst books I have ever read.
Dr Forgey's writing is far from inspiring, and the book is very badly laid out.

It mixes unnecessarily complex medical details with moronic statements and occasional feeble attempts at humour.

Common and complex problems such as HAPE / HACE don't get enough coverage; meanwhile the book is bulked out with a few obscure trail illnesses, along the lines of...

"X is transmitted by infected tick bites. It has these symptooms... ...If you have the symptoms of X, and have been been bitten by ticks, it is likely that you have X.
Cure: Tell your doctor that you may have X; they will prescribe an anti-X drug.
Avoidance: Don't get bitten by infected ticks."

There are way too many proprietary names for drugs and treatments, some of which are specific to the USA, and some are out of date.
