Like many others on here, I would give this book 4 out of 4 stars. I would definitely recommend it to everyone because of how important the information is. It's similar to how I recommend everyone keep a first aid kit on hand.

This book certainly does deserve a full star rating, not only because it is so comprehensive and well-written, but also because it contains such valuable and life-saving information. I can’t help feeling that handbooks like this will grow in popularity as a by-product of the isolation we all experienced during the recent pandemic and, to some extent, the need to look after ourselves. A book to be read in advance, though, so that in the event of a crisis, we know how to handle things.

I was a little skeptical about this book at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like a genuinely useful reference for non-medically-trained people (most of them) who find themselves in remote situations or who would like to be more prepared in case of a disaster.

Knowledge of first-aid is the prerequisite for the survival of any victim in an emergency.......the provision of such knowledge via this plaform is highly appreciated.. it's normally a 4 out of 4, cause such knowledge shouldn't be taken lightly...a wonderful read

This is an excellent book that I would recommend to those who love reading non-fiction books, and those who want to learn basic medical knowledge. The inclusion of pictures in the book aided in comprehension of the entire book. Because of its informative nature, I'm giving it a full rating of 4 stars.

I think that this book is a necessary and practical book written by a top-notch medical professional. This text is easy to understand as William executes it with simple and concise diction. Through this book a layman will learn first aid techniques so as to be able to survive medical emergencies.
The part of the book that examines herbal remedies should be more comprehensive.
The author pens the book with great skill, I did not find any error in it.
I endorse this book because medical emergencies can occur at any time to anybody. It is imperative that everybody gets the information contained in this book. This book is impressive, and I definitely rate it 4 out of 4 stars.

In my opinion, this book is very important to everybody, because medical emergencies can happen to anybody at anytime. I love how practical the book is. However, I think William could have done a more detailed job in several aspects of the book. His writing style is simple, clear and professional. I recommend this book to everybody that has come of age because the content of the book is very helpful especially for medical emergencies, and could literally save lives. This work deserves a four star rating.

Above all, it can be assumed that it would be useful in some circumstances that do not require a good knowledge of medicine. What is impressive is that some procedures in the book require much better knowledge to apply procedures in which an unprepared person can make mistakes and worsen the condition of the endangered. There is not much to discuss the writing style, as the author has selected the information well and categorized it in a good structure. My answer to the last question is, Yes! But with the recommendation, I would also say that some procedures should not be applied if the one who intends to apply them to a person in need has not done it before or does not have the necessary knowledge. In that order and with all that I said, I can rate this book 3 out of 4. And that is my personal opinion.
