Was wondering if this would be a good book/guide for survival/field medical needs.

What do our INGO medical experts think about this book? Is there a better book to get ahold for survival/field medical needs?

Judging by the inside-cover-blurb and the price, it's probably worth reading. The only issue I have, is that it's an E-book and you might not be able to refer to it in the boonies

I plan on buying paperback copy. It will definitely be put in a plastic bag and carried on person when the need arises.

Found this in paperback

Get it. Read it. Practice. Seek other instruction as well. Always remember that knowledge is perishable and best practices changes.

I am a recently retired physician, but still licensed and board certified in emergency medicine. Eric Weiss is well known in the emergency medicine community and that book would be considered a valuable reference, with all the usual caveats.

VERY comprehensive, highly recommend

The Survival Medicine Handbook by Joseph Alton is also a very good book, a guide for when help is not on the way

Interesting. One review I saw said "He spent more time rambling on about why you should be prepared than actually teaching you what to do. One star." (paraphrased)
