| Abstract | This text has been written to provided trained Diver Medics, whether IMCA or NBDHMT, with a reference guide to care for individuals in need of not only emergency care but also many of the non-emergent clinical medical issues that arise in remote locations. It is assumed that the medics utilizing this material are trained to a level of at least emergency medical technician or equivalent and are properly supplied and equipped. This is not a survival or 'do-it-yourself' manual. Rather it is a combination of several fields of medicine and treatment regimens that would apply to the Diver Medic's skill set in an isolated area.
