Firstly, I'm a prepper, with military, survival, and a fair degree of medical experience and training. I also train and teach that stuff. Even so, much of this book is far and away too technical for even my skills and probably unusable by anyone without at least EMT level training. Notwithstanding that, I strongly recommend that anyone who is serious about prepping get it because it may well save your - or somebody's, whom you love, life.
This is a very, very thorough book covering surgical procedures for almost any problem subject to surgical treatment or amelioration. It is well organized, with step by step procedures for prepping, opening, repairing, closing, and post-surgical care for each kind of surgery. It is, however, NOT "jargon free" and those without a fair amount of knowledge of medical terminology and anatomy are going to find it a "hard slog". The illustrations are also both sparse and far from clear. The book also presumes access to equipment and medications which the average person neither has nor has access to. Even a well equipped Corpsman won't have the necessary gear to carry out most of these procedures, many of which require at least a "MASH" level facility (for which type of facility this book appears to have been written).
SO, with all those "negatives" and "caveats", why would I urge the would be prepper/survivalist to get this book (and I DO recommend that)?
Here's the thing - I have personal "bug-out bags" for myself and everyone in my family, which are designed to ensure that they can live at least 1 week on the run from even the worst imaginable societal breakdown.
