   please excuse a newbie if this has been covered, but i swear i did a search and didnt find this topic....

i have been slowly collecting different basic medical books to help me
understand the basics of caregiving and helping in an emergency
situation if TSHTF.

i would like to know what you all have gathered for yourselves as i
want to know what would be helpful and what i might be missing. 
this is what i have so far:

harrisons principles of internal medicine

where there is no doctor

where there is no dentist

green pharmacy

first responder

professional guide to signs and symptoms

emergency care and transportation

basic medical -surgical nursing

herbal medicine makers handbook

emergency war surgery

the herb book

merck manual

i have read most of them a couple of times and a few of then several
times..  im not expecting to do brain surgery--im just looking for
basic info to help my family.

if you have any suggestions, i sure would appreciate them.

thankyou,

jazzy

	Hi Jazzy, Great list. I have a couple of those books. I have bought several others, but they are not worth mentioning. Two books I would recommend are The Bird Flu Manual by Dr. Grattan Woodson - you can get it at Amazon, and Backpacker, Wilderness 911 by Eric A. Weiss, M.D. I got a copy of Dr. Grattan Wodson's The Bird Flu Manual long ago. My copy is very small compared to the 300 + pages in the new version, but I would recommend this book highly. I just got the Wilderness 911 book recently. It is not flu related, but it contains very good information. It is geared toward individuals that like to go camping and offers extensive information on what to do when you are hurt or sick and are on your own. I hope this helps. Grandma3
