Kollar man på
http://www.wms.org finner man
"Associate members:
Persons who are non-physicians, active military..."
Vilket borde omfatta en hel del personer, jag kände mig tämligen träffad i alla fall.
Visst, men kolla på:
http://www.wms.org/wm_fr.htm
så ser du vad det är de pysslar med. Låter inte direkt som "första hjälpen"....
De lär däremot kunna svara på många av de frågor som ställts här i forumet (om glaciärvatten, hållbarhet på vatten, risker för magsjuka etc).
Tänkte hålla god min men det verkar inte fundera här...
Här nedan är synopsis ur c:a 50% av WMS publikationer; väldigt mycket "first aid", "brief explanations" och
"step-by-step instructions" för att WMS inte ska hålla på med första hjälpen.
Har du, Nermander, frågor om vattenhygien, mm, så behöver du inte ställa dessa till nämnd amerikansk organisation, det finns med stor sannolikhet kompetent folk här som kan svara på dina frågor, eller så kan du (igen?) läsa igenom några av de tidigare trådarna här på Utsidan så kanske du hittar svaren där - om du verkligen vill.

Medicine For The Outdoors
The purpose of this book is to provide you with
brief explanations of a wide variety of medical problems, and to offer practical solutions.
Wilderness First Aid
The Official Collaboration between: The National Safety Council and the Wilderness Medical Society. This is not a wilderness survival book, although much of the information would help you survive if you were stranded unexpectedly. The information in Wilderness First Aid: Emergency
First Aid for Remote Locations will provide you with the “what to look for’s” and the “what to do’s” needed to cope successfully with injury and illness when medical care is an hour or more away
Mountaineering Medicine - (14th Edition)
Mountaineering Medicine describes how to deal with life-threatening emergencies and minor medical problems when you are far from available help and transportation. Using
clear, simple language...
Medicine For The Backcountry
Medicine for the Backcountry can prepare you for just about any major or minor medical emergency you might face in the outdoors. Using real-life anecdotes,
step-by-step instructions, and clear illustrations, this invaluable guide shows you how to assess, manage, and care for many outdoor injuries.
The Wilderness First Responder
It is a priceless resource for wilderness educators, trip leaders, guides, seach and rescue groups, and all people who work or play far from definitive medical care. Inside this how-to resource are expert,
step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, and “Signs and Symptoms” sidebars designed to help you provide care in wilderness and urban settings-whenever you are more than an hour away from an ambulance or a hospital. You’ll learn about patient assessment and patient evacuation and strengthen your ability to
improvise when ideal materials are not at hand.
Hypothermia, Frostbite And Other Cold Injuries
This compact, comprehensive book covers hypothermia’s causes and effects, and tells how to prevent, recognize and treat it. A chapter on cold water immersion hypothermia is must reading for fishermen, power and sail boaters, rafters, canoeists, and kayakers. Other chapters cover frostbite and other localized cold injuries such as trench foot.
