Your Offshore Doctor

A Manual of Medical Self-Sufficiency at Sea

Dr. Michael H. Beilan

Written by a knowledgeable seagoing physician, this book addresses the medical layman. It is thoroughly illustrated and presented in a format that is easy to follow, even in an emergency. Covering a wide range of medical problems that may be encountered at sea, Dr. Beilan explains how to prepare medical histories of the crew before leaving on a voyage; set up a medical kit according to the type of voyage to be made; determine priorities in the event of a problem; make a tentative diagnosis and proceed with treatment; and provide aftercare for the patient until medical authorities can be reached. Next to having a physician in the crew, the best things a prudent skipper can have on board are a well-planned medical kit and Your Offshore Doctor. Don't leave port without it.
