Since its first publication in 1972, more than 30,000 blue-water
sailors have looked to this book when injury or illness struck at
sea. Virtually every accident or ailment that might occur when
professional medical care is unavailable is squarely faced and
dealt with, using layman's language and step-by-step instructions
that calmly take the reader from diagnosis through treatment to
follow-up care. The fifth edition brings this standard work
up-to-date with current medical practice. While maintaining its
ease of use for quick, easy reference in case of a medical
emergency at sea, diagrams inside the front and back covers point
the reader to the appropriate section of the book. Each section
starts with a short account of a possible accident or sickness that
might occur on a voyage, and then lists the steps to be taken by
the caregiver. Photographs and diagrams accompany many of the
procedures. Separate chapters are devoted to preparing a crew and
the boat's medical chest for long cruises, including lists of drugs
for which prescriptions are needed. A number of chapters deal with
the unique needs of children.
