Conventional and Non-Conventional Medicine Resources
Whether it is professional care in a medical setting or emergency first aid in the wilderness, there are many different methods of providing care for people who are in need. In medical practices, for example, not all physicians approach healthcare in the same manner. Some physicians and clinics practice what is called evidence-based medicine, or EBM. In EBM practice, healthcare providers rely on scientific research to best provide care to their patients. When providing first aid, being immersed in nature and away from any cities or towns requires people to use different methods of providing care. This type of first aid is known as wilderness first aid, and it is meant to provide a level of care that can help an injured or ill person until professional medical care is reached. While it is possible to find basic guidelines for wilderness first aid, ideally one should seek training before setting out on an outdoor excursion.
