At a time when our health system has become particularly susceptible to strain, it should be no further than an arm's reach away in your household.</p><p><I>This is a book about sustainable health, primarily having to do with your health and what you can do to protect it—in bad times certainly, but also in good. I will help you ensure the health of those you love, yourself and, should you so choose, your community, if and when the world changes.</I> World <I>may come to mean your little town or the whole globe. It could change for a few days or weeks, or for a few years. It could change because of a flood, financial crisis, flu pandemic, or failure of our energy procurement, production or distribution systems.</I></p><p><I>I will not teach you to be a lone survivalist who anticipates doing an appendectomy on himself or a loved one on the kitchen table with a steak knife and a few spoons, although I will discuss techniques of austere and improvised medicine for really hard times.</I></p><p><B>Gerard S. Doyle, MD</B>, teaches and practices emergency medicine at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he also plans the hospital's response to disasters.</p></DIV>
