The content is educative though am not a medic so some instances you needed the Google companion to understand better with more explanations not just definitions.

I have no medical training, so I cannot speak about the accuracy, however, I did have some concerns. These techniques could save someone's life in an emergency. However, I remember hearing that doing CPR incorrectly, could do more harm than good. The book did recommend getting further training. If there is no choice prioritizing the life of the person is best, but it might be a good idea to see if the help of a professional is available first. From the little I remember about first aid and other things, those sections seem accurate to me.

I'd agree with the quoted post, as the book does not provide any over-complicated terms, it's easy to comprehend and, probably, use in real life, for non-professional in the field primarely. I do believe that the Medical Handbook can help to save someone's life, however a brief medical course in an offline group woul benefit a non-professional much more, not to mention medical school. Anyway, a useful book to read.

I didn't notice any inaccuracy in the book because I am not a medical practitioner. However, based on my judgment, I was satisfied with how the author laid down his points.

I don't have much medical knowledge and I found the book really informative. There could be differences in some of the practices across the world. Everyone can always do more research if they are keen to learn.

I agree with this.
