If you're not comfortable raising a complaint directly or do not feel you've had a satisfactory response, you can complain to the NHS. This is the third time I have read Neil Strauss's, "Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life" making it to the top of my most-read-list right alongside authors such as Hunter S. They lay out the pathophysiology, history of present illness, and diagnostic and treatment algorithms in a stepwise manner to lead the reader through a more complete understanding of the complaint or disease. The vast majority of us won’t be ready or equipped to handle a world gone wrong, but Strauss aims to change that. Unfortunately, the text size is actually quite small which makes it harder to read but does enable it to pack in a lot more information.

The contributing authors are some of the leading experts in the field and, simple paging through the text, one gets a sense that one is learning from some of the top minds in the field of Emergency Medicine with a robust list of references. The short breezy chapters made it extremely readable, but as a novel reader, I found it hindered continuity. Most of these books present a highly specific question and then give you possible answers to select from.

The story is written in a rhyme with some repetitive words that are great for getting the children involved in the story. He does a good job highlighting events and policy changes that might make a person a little worried about living in the United States, explaining why he’s scared and why he thinks something bad might happen. On top of that, you need to outfit yourself with a good quality stethoscope and other medical equipment.
