Hello, o great hive mind,

I'm looking for a book recommendation, maybe you can think of something that would fit the bill. I'm after a few words about first aid, expedition and wilderness medicine, mountaineering accidents, that general sort of thing, from a mountain rescue perspective. Ideally written in such a way that even a simpleton like me can understand it without shying too far away from the specific medical details, and with a style light enough to read in the bath after a long day, but still dealing with some nice gritty, heavy subject material.

Does such a book exist?

I'm all ears (and eyes).

Thanks, team.

Fitting part of your ask but not covering altitude 

where there is no Doctor 

pub by Red Cross or someone like them 

That's a great start, not from a mountain rescue perspective obviously, but it sounds like a bloody useful book in its own right anyway.

Thanks for that.
