    Looking for a good book on first aid situations.

    Like what do you do if the injury is not quite severe enough to go to the doctor or ER, but it does need some attention… How do you make those decisions, est. We’ve all had calls that were completely BS, but what are you supposed to do in those situations? Anyway, looking for a good book.
