Recommended medical textbooks
* Link Unavailable. This site is no longer active and available to view on line. But the info was good and we wanted to keep sharing it!

When tshtf (be it a pandemic or other emergency/disaster) it's a good idea to have a couple of medical textbooks in the house to use as a reference. Many would be difficult to understand without a medical dictionary, so I'd recommend purchasing one of those as well.

So here goes:

1) Cecils Essentials of Medicine -- this is the reader's digest version of the Int. Med textbook. It's a bit pricier than the CDT but better at explaining a disease process. Used copies are in the $30+ range.

2) Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment (a/k/a CDT) Amazon had a 2004 used copy for $4.50

3) Common Symptom Guide -- you can look up the symptom and it suggested what disease processes to explore. About $20 used

4) Tabers Medical Dictionary. Old used copies are around $5.

5) If you want to expand your collection -- Bates Guide to Physical Exams -- very pricey / even used it's up over $100, but it shows pictures of what a problem looks like.

Obviously if you have kids, you'll probably want the CDT for pediatrics. Most med students hang onto their books for about 5-8 years (anything older on an office shelf and the Jacho (inspectors) crew will comment on them - at which point they are offered for sale.

If the books seem pricey used just remember how much the new versions are. My first semester in school, I spent four figures on textbooks (makes me ill just thinking of it!)

Check out Amazon and half.com for used book bargains.

There is a sense,when considering the issues around survival medicine practice,that everything is overwhelming, that it is impossible for lay people to provide a high level of medical care and maintain a high level of population health.

We don’t think this is the case at all. We believe that intelligent lay people with some basic medical knowledge,skills,and equipment can deliver high quality health care. While it is obviously impossible for lay people to safely and competently deal with every medical problem,and there remain many complicated diagnoses requiring equallycomplicated or technologically advanced treatments, for 80-90% of the health problems afflicting humanity,simple things done well are all that is required to preserve life and limb and help alleviate suffering.
