March 2012Reader’s Favorite Review Awards 5 STARS to “Doc’s First Aid Guide”
“Simple, straight, and to-the-point, “Doc’s First Aid Guide” by Kathleen A. Handal, MD, is an easy-to-use reference book that you could keep handy in your glove compartment, a kitchen drawer, or your office desk drawer. She emphasizes that the steps taken during the first few minutes of a medical emergency situation are critical and suggests that people read this book BEFORE they need it. I think she is right. I am such a geek, I even read my car owner’s manual from cover to cover before driving the car.
The formatting is logical and makes it very easy to instantly find the information you need for the type of emergency situation that you are experiencing. After the initial general information section, Dr. Handal provides the ABC’s of CPR, which everyone should learn how to administer, and then goes into the First Aid situations. I am so glad that you presented the information in alphabetical order as it makes it much easier to locate just what you need. The First Aid section covered topics from Allergic Reaction to Burns to Choking to Heat Exposure to Unconsciousness with dozens of topics in between.
Last but not least, she includes emergency first-aid techniques, a first aid kit checklist, and an emergency information info sheet. There are good diagrams included throughout the guide that show the reader how to perform the first aid being described. I appreciate how she included both the “What To Do” boxes as well as the “Do Not” icons to help guide the reader in an emergency.”
How to survive the ER, medical tips for before you go, when there and when you leave. Have a look DocHandal’s latest podcast on her iTune channel ListenUp! and then go to Amazon’s CreateSpace to purchase the print version.
DocHandal wrote down everything you might find useful from her decades of caring for patients. She did consider the title ‘Getting Out Alive’, it would have been more sensational.
Let DocHandal share medical sense so you’ll be ‘impowered’ to get the best possible emergency care.
You can also tell friends that Doc’s ER Guide, was just published in print form -available through Amazon. Also as multi-format e-books, my books are available through Barnes & Nobles, iBooks, Smashwords and Amazon (direct links to my book pages).You’ll be able to download the first 20% of the books for free.
As many of you know I, DocHandal, write from my many years of experience as an ER Doc. I believe First Aid should be medical common sense & everyone needs to be their own advocate when in the ER. I hope you will take the time to check Doc’s ER Guide & Doc’s First Aid Guide.
Won’t you also take a moment to spread the word about my books to everyone you know?
Thanks so much for your support
