A list of medical books you might want to have/read/study before bad times happen.
OK - MY OPINION - If you work thru this list, in the order it appears, you will obtain a broad range of good medical knowledge, starting with the basics then working up.
However, without training and practice.................
Remember, a BOOK a COOK does not make.
If you have time/money etc - take the Red Cross 1st Aid courses, join a CERT team, GET TRAINING.

AND NOW:
Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/Special-Operations-Forces-Medical-Handbook/dp/0160808960/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257352684&sr=8-2
I have both (including the 1st edition companion CD).
The 1st. has stuff the 2nd does not have.
The 2nd. has stuff the 1st does not have.
If you can affort it - my opinion - get both.
HOWEVER, the original Special Force's medical guide was completely supplanted by the SOF medical handbook noted above. The following are some quotes about the original SF manual:
--- Quote ---"That manual is a relic of sentimental and historical interest only, advocating treatments that, if used by today’s medics, would result in disciplinary measures,” wrote Dr. Warner Anderson, a U.S. Army Colonel (ret.) and former associate dean of the Special Warfare Medical Group. “The manual you reference is of great historical importance in illustrating the advances made in SOF medicine in the past 25 years. But it no more reflects current SOF practice than a 25 year-old Merck Manual reflects current Family Practice. In 2007, it is merely a curiosity.”
“Readers who use some of the tips and remedies could potentially cause harm to themselves or their patients.”
--- End quote ---
In order to use this manual, you would have to already know what is still useful vs what isn't. I have a copy, it's a fascinating read, especially the parts that are in there that "would result in disciplinary measures".

ALL of the following books are in use over the world by those who are not necessarily trained in surgery to perform any number of surgeries.
[Begin_My_Opinion]
These 3 books are in the “Buy these to round out your already extensive Medical Library” category.
They are a bit pricey. The wikipedia source for copy/paste into Word/Print is incomplete.

Apologies, I missed that one. I go thru the list every time before I post it again. I did update two URLs in the list before posting. Normally, stuff like that doesn't get by me.
The Senior Computer Nerd hangs his head in shame.
I will update my list with the .pdf you found. Thanks for finding it.
