The Little Book of Big Medical Emergencies: How to Recognize and Respond to the Most Common Medical Emergencies

Dr. Fischer's book belongs in every household. I have used it successfully several times when dealing with medical emergencies. It is easy to understand, well organized, and potentially life-saving. Buy one for your home today (and make sure there's a copy where you work too!)

As a high school student, I have always been reluctant to reading many books. After a friend of mine recommended this book, I decided to give it a shot. I could not have asked for more in a book; reading it has been a great experience. Dr. Fischer has included many useful ideas that one could use when emergencies occur. He has included 40 of the most common emergencies that many people are forced to deal with daily. In dangerous situations, I now know to remain calm and react to these situations in the best ways possible. I feel safer now and always carry this book around with me. It was a great book, and i definitly recommend it to everyone.

The best all-around medical emergency book has got to be this one. It dispels any medical myths you might have, and it will help you identify what is really wrong with you, instead of worrying about what it might be. Just about every common medical emergency is in there, from the correct way to treat a nosebleed, to how to figure out if your child has appendicitis, to knowing when back pain is serious. I wouldn't go on a family vacation without it, and it personifies my motto: "Always Be Prepared."

This book should be on everyone's shelf. At Home, at work, in a restaurant- even in every taxi in America. Bravo Dr. Fischer- and thank you for putting out this outstanding little book.
