Deep dives

Introduction to Collapse Medicine

Collapse medicine differs significantly from traditional survival medicine, focusing on scenarios where modern medical facilities are entirely unavailable. In a societal collapse, individuals must rely on their knowledge and skills to manage health complications, rather than waiting for professional medical assistance. This includes treating injuries and illnesses with limited supplies and learning to adapt to changing health care needs. A strategy that emphasizes both mental preparedness and practical skills is essential for managing health in such situations.
