In the Spotlight
The 2004 Indian
Ocean earthquake, known by the scientific community as the Sumatra-Andaman
earthquake, was an undersea earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC (07:58:53
local time) on December 26, 2004. According to Wikipedia, the tsunami generated
by the earthquake killed approximately 275,000 people, making it one of the
deadliest disasters in modern history.
During a 2005 Combat/Field Medicine
training program I participated in at the Ohio State University Extension,
a video presentation focused on three young people from the United States
who were working at orphanages in Indonesia, when the tsunami hit. With no
medical experience or training, they gathered medical supplies, obtained
permission to enter the impacted region and found themselves in charge of
hospital clinics with the full range of medical challenges.

Medicine (Medical Self Care)
Perhaps the
most widely used health care manual in developing countries today, provides
vital, easily understood information on how to diagnose, treat, and prevent
common diseases. Considered useful both as a text book for village health
care and as a travel medicine guide.
