The outdoor environment is beautiful, but it is ever-changing and can become hostile in a
moment. Good fortune favors the well prepared, and there are no more important considerations
for a successful outdoor experience than safety and first aid. Severe weather, rugged
terrain, wild animals, and equipment failure conspire to create or complicate medical hardships
that must be diagnosed swiftly and remedied with certainty. The therapies can be integral to
survival. Medical education is thus as compelling as any other category of learning.
This revised seventh edition of Medicine for the Outdoors has been comprehensively updated
based on advances in medical knowledge and requests from readers. I am indebted to my family,
professional colleagues, and friends. Sherry, Brian, Lauren, and Dan embody the outdoor spirit
and put this book to good use. Medicine for the Outdoors is dedicated to all the amazing people
who give generously of their time to try to make the world a better place.
With at least as much effort as we seek to maintain our personal well-being, we must try to
preserve our environment. Wise healers will approach preservation of planet Earth with the
same passion that they devote to vital medical missions; for without the wilderness, there can be
no wilderness medicine.
