RE: Dealing with off-grid emergencies and how to prepare
So glad your son is ok. I love your approach to medicine. Animals in general are very very much like people. There are some differences in certain meds etc... but for the most part, mammals are mammals especially with first aid and wound care. I may not be a human doctor, but I bet my skills would still be marketable when the zombies come. Great post with excellent information.
My wife and I were talking afterwards. If either of us were injured, we could do what the doctor did. Not that much different than what we already do now. Animals are good teachers. If push came to shove, we could do triage work to save lives, especially if there are no more doctors.
I don't doubt it at all. A shroud of mystery has been drawn around the world of human medicine that is unhealthy. It has been reinforced by laws that can put you in jail or have your kids taken away for neglect if you don't toe the current medical protocols when dealing with family medicine. It also hamstrings physicians who are urged not to innovate or think. Follow the algorithm and collect your check. New has replaced tried and true without having to be proven superior. It's very sad. Give me a gaping wound, some sugar or honey, and watch the magic.
