Written in plain English with a touch of humor (the best medicine) Life's Little Emergencies is a medical crisis handbook for active independent seniors and caregivers alike.

Different than other medical preparedness books, Life's Little Emergencies is written by a paramedic rather than a doctor. It provides real world tips on responding to unforeseen medical emergencies using modern techniques. This isn't a book for backpacking in the Himalayas; it's for taking care of yourself with today's tools and incorporates 911 and emergency medical services.

The first aid section of the book covers techniques for conditions common to senior citizens: skin tears, fractures, and dehydration to name just a few. It also discusses life-saving techniques like CPR, bleeding control and the Heimlich Maneuver.

More than just a first aid book, it includes tips to be prepared for all types of emergencies, from personal illness or injury all the way up to major disasters. Life's Little Emergencies has advice on when to reach out for help and how to take care of oneself. Full of practical, clear, and easy-to-understand advice, this book prepares any household with older members for any medical emergency.
