The practice of medicine is something that should only be undertaken by trained professionals.

Any practice of survival medicine should be backed up with appropriate training.  \nMuch of this information is offered to give you perspective of what may be possible in a long term catastrophic disaster or when working in an austere or remote environment without access to organised or trained medical care – we in no way endorse practicing these techniques except in such a situation.  \nThis information is offered as personal opinions and should not be taken to represent a professional opinion or to reflect any views widely held within the medical community.
