Year: 2024 Language: English Author: Dr. Spike Briggs, Dr. Tim Carter & Dr. Katharine Hartington Genre: Guide Publisher: MCA Edition: 24 ISBN: 978 0 11 554149 0 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 341 Description: It is over 156 years since the publication of the 1st edition of the Ship Captain’s Medical Guide, authored by Harry Leach. Some of his introductory comments in that 1st edition have stood the test of time, and are equally apposite to the practice of remote medicine in the 21st century: It is now a duty to tell the reader that the following pages are written with the object of showing not only what to do in cases of accident and sickness, but what to avoid. Doctors have lately learnt much on this head, and will tell you that in the practice of their own profession much harm may be done to the body by meddling and muddling. It is very important that this fact should be widely known, and so, acting thereupon, let the reader remember and apply the following rules:
(1) Follow out strictly all the recommendations enjoined in this book.
(2) Do not take with you or use any medicines other than those inserted in the official scale.
(3) When in doubt as to the nature of a disease, wait and watch.
Struggle hard and actively to prevent disease, but when you are called upon to cure, adopt the directions given here, meagre as they may appear, and believe (as you may most assuredly do) that your own humble efforts to restore health and prolong life will receive safe and splendid backing from the wonderful hand of nature. The practice of medicine continually advances, and there was a significant change in the practice of ‘remote medicine’ from that described in the 22nd edition of the Ship Captain’s Medical Guide (published in 1999) to that in the 23rd edition, published in 2019. It is now five years since the publication of the 23rd edition, so this, the 24th edition, represents an evolution from the previous edition, rather than a complete revision
