Wilderness EMS

There have been hundreds of field guides written about wilderness medicine. Wilderness EMS is not one of them. Seth Hawkins, MD, an emergency and emergency medical services (EMS) physician who has devoted much of his career to shaping the practice of medicine in places where "the surrounding environment has…more power over us than does the infrastructure of our civilization," has crafted a unique reference specifically authored for wilderness EMS professionals. Unlike typical wilderness medicine texts and guides that generally target the layperson whose hiking buddy breaks a leg or climber experiencing the first symptoms of altitude sickness, Wilderness EMS details an evidence-based approach to the practice of out-of-hospital medicine in austere environments.
