These books are not what you think. They are written by liberals for high
school dropouts in the Peace Corps working to help third world countries.
They contain little information on diagnosis and treatment, especially in
regard to what a boater at sea might encounter. The emphasis is on things
like malnutrition, child immunizations, AIDS, jungle childbirth, etc.

If you have any brains, you'd be much better off with the Merck Manual,
and
a suture kit from eBay, and a Dent-Temp kit for the drugstore.
