Если рядом нет врача
В наш век техники и технологий никто не застрахован от несчастных случаев и болезней – за удобства, которые предоставляет технический прогресс, надо платить. В результате полученная травма, шок или, в лучшем случае стресс, надолго выводят пострадавшего из строя. Поэтому в любой экстремальной ситуации каждый человек должен знать, как себя вести, ведь часто от этого зависит его жизнь. Автор данной книги не задается целью научить кого-то ставить диагноз самостоятельно и заниматься самолечением, он хочет дать общее представление о распространенных заболеваниях и типичных несчастных случаях, травмах и осветить меры по оказанию первой помощи в ситуациях, когда нет возможности обратиться к врачу или надо срочно принимать решение, чтобы спасти жизнь пострадавшего.
