Written in plain English with a touch of humor (the best medicine)
"Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active Independent
Seniors and Caregivers" is a medical crisis handbook for active
independent seniors and caregivers alike. The first section of the
book covers techniques and conditions common to senior citizens:
skin tears, fractures, and dehydration to name just a few. It
discusses life-saving techniques like CPR and the Heimlich
maneuver. The first aid information is backed up by research and
twenty plus years experience of actual care by someone who still
treats real victims first hand.
However, "Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active
Independent Seniors and Caregivers" is much more than just a first
aid book. The remaining sections discuss learning life-saving
skills, how to assess and treat an injury, when you feel sick, the
great outdoors and much more. It's a manual for planning and making
serious medical decisions and for getting help when seniors need it
most - at home or on the road. It includes ways to "call 911" even
in other countries where 911 is a different number entirely.
"Life's Little Emergencies, A Handbook for Active Independent
Seniors and Caregivers" guides the reader through anything from a
minor cut to a major stroke. There are do-it-yourself first aid
tips as well as ways to be prepared for an emergency, advice on

any medical emergency from cuts to cardiac arrest.
