'Ship Captain's Medical Guide' is intended primarily for use on ships
where no doctor is carried and it is necessary to assess and treat
injuries and to diagnose and treat ill health. The guide can also be
recommended for use in other situations where professional medical
advice is not readily available, for example on expeditions. For the
23rd edition the guide has been comprehensively rewritten reflecting
modern best practices. It contains: - Flow charts to aid evaluation and
treatment - Clear, authoritative advice and easy-to-follow guidance -
Step-by-step illustrations to explain emergency procedures -
Quick-reference lists regarding history and examination - Cross
references to further detail - Anatomical illustrations
