I think that this book of nothing else gives the reader the knowledge that may be needed to get them to ask more questions or just make personal changes.
And for that reason I am glad that I have found it now in my life because I also feel that if I had discovered it sooner I may not have appreciated it for what it was a informative book to the reader.

Wish I had it on hand when my mom was ill.
We were told (14 yo teenagers) to just call someone if anything happens to our mom.
The adults that came to help made it worse!
They tried their best and followed what they thought was the best coarse of action, but it was misinformation they had..
Heres the thing, unfortunately not everyone understands instructions the same.
When you have a group of people be told something. And later have them relay what you said to them, each person will say something different.
Reading on the other hand can be more efficient at relaying information.
The amount of misunderstanding is significantly lower!
It doesn't mean people would understand 100% or act like a medical professional, but at least they'll have some correct background information to keep them and others alive long enough, or at the least do the minimum to lessen the injury.

I agree with you. Knowing the content of the book, or any other useful information for the matter can go a long way. I know of a colleague who fell from a temporary-walled shaft in a construction site while on training. He was still alive, but because of the traffic jam, he didn't make it before they arrived at the hospital. I think in situations like these you can't help but wonder if someone who knew these information was there what could have happened. So I guess there's no harm, but always a probable advantage, of knowing the content of this book and others like it.aaurba wrote: ↑03 Oct 2021, 00:08 Is there a situation that you have gone through wherein you wished that you knew the book's content? It could be either about you, a loved one, a stranger, or any person. I'll start.
Back when I was around ten years old, my grandfather in my father's side suffered from a heart attack. We didn't have an effective (and available) emergency service hotline during that year so we had to rely on public transportation means to go to the hospital, and my grandfather ended up in a coma upon arrival in the hospital. I believe that even if only one of my relative knew what to do and had read the contents of the section "Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)" from pages 22 to 24, my grandfather would have been in a better condition and would not end up in a coma.

However, I do wish I would have read this book earlier, as I've only just recently gotten serious about my diet and exercise. If I would have had this book a few years ago, I think I would have realized sooner how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle.
