Ideal for * Boating * Coastal and Offshore Commercial Vessels * Coastal and Offshore Recreational Vessels * Diving * Paddling * Rafting Sea Kayaking AMK Marine Book Review from Cruising World, August 2006 First Aid Afloat p At first glance, a better title for A Comprehensive Guide to Marine Medicine would be Things You Don't Want to Have Happen on a Boat. But because things can 'and often do' go awry when one is far from the dock and access to emergency care, this book offers a boatload of practical medical advice in its 288 pages, from a pair of doctors who themselves have spent a lot of time out of the office. Eric A. Weiss, MD is an emergency medicine professor at Stanford University as well as a climber, kayaker, and professional raft guide. His writing on wilderness medicine attracted the attention of physician Michael Jacobs of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Jacobs, a longtime offshore sailor, approached Dr. Weiss about adapting his advice to the needs of mariners. p "At the heart of wilderness and marine medicine is improvisation," the authors note in their introduction. "In the wilderness (and remember, the sea is the greatest wilderness on Earth), one must utilize whatever supplies or materials are on hand and depend heavily on common sense." p A Comprehensive Guide offers advice on treatments for ailments ranging from life-threatening conditions to sunburn irritation and situations from life-raft survival to making a VHF radio distress call. It describes ways to deal with wounds, fractures, burns, bites, and stings. Published by Adventure Medical Kits, the book includes "Weiss Advice" (tips on how to on how to improvise using commonly found materials) as well as cautionary "When to Worry" signs. The guide can be used with the color-coded and injury-specific first aid equipment Jacobs has helped develop with Adventure Medical Kits.

SCUBA diving is an activity that can be strenuous and hazardous. The diver must be free of cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
An absolute requirement is the ability of the lungs, middle ear and sinuses to readily equalize pressure. The most common cause of
distress while diving is eustachian insufficiency. Most fatalities involve deficiencies in prudence, judgment, emotional stability or
physical fitness.
