When I was a kid my dad trained relief and development workers (and missionaries) and I got to hang out with them in the summers. I remember the book Where There Is No Doctor being part of the kit that folks would take with them when they were headed overseas (1980 - headed to Somalia and Kenya to work in remote areas). I was reading some of the posts here and the recent healthcare thread reminded me that I'd been meaning to find a copy of this book to keep as part of our bug-out kit. Well - it must be good info - because instead of a used copy I just bought a copy of the 18th printing from Jan of 22. Thought I'd share it here for those who might not have this area covered.
