Summary
Knack First Aid covers the most common injuries and illnesses, how to recognize them, how to manage them and, when appropriate, how to prevent them. By Buck Tilton, a trusted first responder and first aid expert who is the author of many Falcon Guides and two Knack books, it also covers CPR and other emergencies that require immediate action. It also discusses crises all too often overlooked by other books, such as ones involving mental health. Extensive, step-by-step photography takes the reader further than any such previous first aid guide.
