Produktbeschreibung

Offering in-depth coverage of biologic, chemical, and radiologic agents, this book helps family physicians understand their role in preparing for and responding to terrorist events. The text considers the physical and psychological impact on providers and patients who are directly affected as well as spillover effects. It also examines the structure, function, and planning efforts of the public health system at the local, state, and federal levels. Emphasis is placed on how physicians can work with health officials on the delivery of preventive and therapeutic measures. In addition, coverage also discusses surveillance activities, plans for handling mass casualties, and responding to concerns about risk.

This timely resource is invaluable for primary care physicians who want to better understand their role for patients and the public in emergency preparedness. The practical approach presented in this book is also applicable to accidental and natural disasters.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The author presents a concise reference for primary care providers, be they family medicine practitioners, pediatricians, internists, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants, to help them recognize early cases of a potential mass casualty situation caused by either a terrorist attack or a natural disaster. ... also a useful book for lay people who want to have the answers unfiltered by the medical community. ... This book should be readily available in every primary care clinic. ... I highly recommend this book for every physician." (Vincent F. Carr, DO, FACP, Doody's Review Service, March, 2008)
