Summary "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. The first section of the book covers techniques for conditions common to senior citizens: skin tears, fractures, and dehydration to name just a few. It discusses life-saving techniques like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. More than just a first aid book, it also discusses learning life-saving skills, assessing and treating an injury, the great outdoors, and much more. There are do-it-yourself first aid tips as well as ways to be prepared for an emergency, 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 resource prepares any household with older members for any medical emergency"-- Provided by publisher.
