Survival Medicine Podcast: Nuclear Events, Radiation, Wound Closure

About this episode

Some of our friends have discouraged us from speaking about the small possibility of a nuclear event in the unstable and uncertain future, but everyone should know about them, not panic, and understand that survival is possible in many cases. Dr. Joe Alton discusses different types of nuclear weapons and meltdowns, types of radiation, percentages and radius of damage, symptoms of radiation sickness, building shelters, treating the sick, and much more. Plus, a question about suture kits from a listener leads to a discussion of why and when to close wounds, and how to developing good judgment is more important than just learning how to throw a stitch. All this and more on the Survival Medicine Podcast!  Wishing you the best of health in good times or bad, Joe and Amy Alton Hey, check out our medical kits, books, individual supplies, and more at store.doomandbloom.net. You'll be glad you did.
