A field guide to survival medicine, improvisation, and
emergency care when professional help is unavailable.

When There Is No Doctor by Dr. Gerald S. Boyle is a
practical guide to emergency and improvised medical care for situations where
professional treatment is delayed or unavailable. Drawing on clinical
experience and disaster-preparedness knowledge, Boyle outlines basic principles
of first aid, triage, and resourceful treatment in remote, crisis, or disrupted
environments.

Designed for readers interested in preparedness, travel in
remote regions, and self-reliance, the book addresses common medical
emergencies and outlines what can and cannot be done safely outside a clinical
setting. Boyle emphasizes prevention, stabilization, and decision-making under
pressure, providing context on when to seek professional care and how to manage
risks when that option is not immediately available.

Part survival manual and part medical preparedness guide, When
There Is No Doctor has found an audience among readers of disaster readiness,
off-grid living, expedition travel, and emergency response. Its focus on
practical knowledge and situational awareness places it alongside other widely
read preparedness titles that examine how individuals respond to medical needs
outside conventional systems.

A core title for readers of survival medicine, disaster
preparedness, and practical first aid in remote or emergency conditions.
