A must have for travelers or any household

I have been fortunate to travel a lot in my life both on and off the beaten path. I used the previous version of The Traveler's Medical Guide for years and it saved me and a friend at least once. The new version has even more information and updated resource lists. It is an excellent resource for initial self diagnosis of ailments. I have used when I am not traveling. It has saved me time, money and as well as provided a peace of mind. It has excellent, easy to understand descriptions of many different ailments and answer to most questions like "should I see a doctor?" "what meds should I take?" "what meds are available?" It even has some options for remote areas where there is no doctor.

Great for home and away

This book has been amazingly helpful to my family both on our travels and at home. It's a must for any packing list, whether you're on business, in the family car, or on the way to Timbuktu. The quick reference charts and detailed index make it easy, for example, to look up the possible causes of a cough or decide if an eye problem requires immediate medical attention; it even covers dental issues. The book is divided into three sections: I. Pre-trip medical planning II. Diagnosis and Treatment of Medical Disorders III. Medications and How to Use Them The book also addresses travel with children & the special needs of women travelers, including issues related to pregnancy and menopause.

Must read for frequent and business travelers!

Dr. Fujimoto leads of team of eminently qualified authors on the topic of travel related heath problems - how to recognize them, what appropriate treatments are, and most importantly, how to avoid many problems. This book is comprehensive in its approach with checklists on what to do before you leave, and how to keep yourself healthy while travelling. It reviews medical problems by organ systems, and has a handy appendix that deals with sympoms, like rashes, cough, eye problems and such. This excellent book should be given as a matter of course for any cororate business traveller, or any traveller, for that matter. It is well organized, thorough, and very readable. It gives sound, concrete advice that could save you from lots of misery! Highly recommended!
