Boater’s Medical Companion

Reading Dr. Gould’s excellent guide to handling medical emergencies and having it aboard as a ready reference can make any boater more confident in coping with a medical emergency afloat. Special sections on using the radio and dealing with a medical evacuation will be helpful to an inexperienced crew member faced with a disabled captain.

This selection from the Cornell Boaters Library is designed for those who don’t plan to go on bluewater cruises, but who need to know how to deal with emergencies on board.
