Comprehensive as WMS first aid kits (
Kilimanjaro™,
Absorkee™,
Humbug II™,
Denali™, or
Grasshopper™)
are, they aren't much good if you don't know how to use them. Unless you are a medical professional, and even if you've had
first aid training (maybe years ago), it's quite likely you don't know or have forgotten how to treat many first aid emergencies.
Part of our Complete Solution deals with that.
FLASHCARDS™
are first aid instructions written for the panicked layman by our medical director, Dr. Gilbert Preston, M.D.
FLASHCARDS™ are designed to provide a highly stressed lay person with a rapid reference,
and clear instructions on safe and effective care of the most common wilderness medical emergencies.
The "FLASH INDEX"
on the outside back cover of the booklet quickly gets you to the correct treatment section.
The instructions then concisely walk you through the treatment.
FLASHCARDS™ are light, durable and comprehensive. The twin-spiral bound, 82 page, 4" X 5" booklet is printed on
waterproof and rip-proof plastic pages. They are designed to be used outside in the sleet or in the
intense humidity of a 4 week trip through a tropical rainforest without coming apart.
