Disaster medicine is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses the
medical and surgical response to mass casualty incidents including
rail, air, and road traffic accidents; domestic terrorism; and
pandemic outbreaks. It also encompasses the global issues of
conflict and natural catastrophe. Specialists in disaster medicine
provide insight, guidance, and expertise on the principles and
practice of medicine both in the disaster impact area and
healthcare evacuation-receiving facilities. They liaise with
emergency management professionals, hospitals, healthcare
facilities, communities, and governments. With contributions by
international authorities in the field, Making Sense of Disaster
Medicine: A Hands-on Guide for Medics is an accessible text
designed for all medical students and professionals who may find
themselves responding to such incidents. Part of the highly
successful Making Sense series, the book features an easy-to-read
layout and boxed sections with "learning points," "thinking
points," "pearls of wisdom," and "hazards." Each chapter concludes
with a summary and list of key resources and case studies further
enhance the text.
