      DOC'S FIRST AID GUIDE

      * * * *

      Invaluable e-book ... valuable resources that make a contribution to improving family health and safety ... concise guide takes out all of the guess work, telling the reader exactly what to do and what not to do when first aid situations arise.

      Sari Fine Shepphird, Ph.D. Psychologist & Author

      We recently purchased these manuals in French, English, and Spanish as a quick, first aid guide for our company's international project sites. We operate in well over 40 countries and Dr. Handal's Doc's First Aid Guide, is an easy-to-read, compact, and comprehensive guide to a myriad of ailments and health issues that may arise no matter where you may be located. We feel that this manual will better equip our personnel to deal with daily first aid issues that may come to pass and we highly recommend this guide to others.

      Becca, Abt Associates

      Key is on the cover-Read it before you need it ... Helps decide what you can do at home and when you need to seek more advanced help.

      Claire Merrick

      Very valuable and accessible contribution to the education needed for first aid responses.

      Delores Rogers

      Replaces that old heavy reference book.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      Kathleen Handal, MD is a nationally and internationally known emergency medicine Doc. She authored The American Red Cross First Aid & Safety Handbook which was written for the lay audience.

      Doc believes physicians have a responsibility to teach and share medical common sense. Her website, www.Dochandal.com, serves as a base for her many consumer education endeavors. A frequent host and co-host on talk-radio health shows, she has also appeared on CNN and the Today Show. Her Medical Emergencies in the Workplace video won a bronze medal in the International Cindy Competition and was a Telly Award finalist. She has co-authored a series of medical textbooks.

      As part of her dedication to public education, she wrote, directed, and produced "Trauma Run", a nationally distributed video for grades 2-6. The video, produced in Spanish and English, teaches children how to respond to a medical emergency when no adults are available.

      In "Your ER Guide" she gives valuable insight into how an emergency room operates, so you’ll know how to get the best care possible. It’s like having Doc Handal at your side when you need her the most.
