      Invaluable e-book ... valuable resources that make a contribution to improving family health and safety ... concise guide takes out all of the guess work, telling the reader exactly what to do and what not to do when first aid situations arise.

      Sari Fine Shepphird, Ph.D. Psychologist & Author

      We recently purchased these manuals in French, English, and Spanish as a quick, first aid guide for our company's international project sites. We operate in well over 40 countries and Dr. Handal's Doc's First Aid Guide, is an easy-to-read, compact, and comprehensive guide to a myriad of ailments and health issues that may arise no matter where you may be located. We feel that this manual will better equip our personnel to deal with daily first aid issues that may come to pass and we highly recommend this guide to others.

      Becca, Abt Associates

      Key is on the cover-Read it before you need it ... Helps decide what you can do at home and when you need to seek more advanced help.

      Claire Merrick

      Very valuable and accessible contribution to the education needed for first aid responses.
