Disaster Preparation and Recovery

Wednesday, 13 February 2008 23:04 Ramaz Mitaishvili

Preparing for a disaster can reduce the fear, anxiety and losses that disasters cause. A disaster can be a natural disaster, like a hurricane or tornado. It might also be man-made, like a terrorist attack or chemical spill. You should know the risks and danger signs of different types of disasters. You should also have a disaster plan. Be ready to evacuate your home, and know how to treat basic medical problems. Make sure you have the insurance you need, including special types, like flood insurance.

No matter what kind of disaster you experience, it causes emotional distress. After a disaster, recovery can take time. Stay connected to your family and friends during this period.

The Human Blood: Composition, Typing, Lab Test Interpretation

It is generally agreed that precise diagnosis is fundamental for the planning of treatment and for the assessment of prognosis especially in the very sensitive field, hematology. An attempt has been made of helping practitioners, students, and just a reader to understand more about blood components, and blood typing. I had no intention of writing a textbook of hematology, but my intention was to produce a book which would be a supplement such as a textbook.

This book can be recommended with confidence to doctors, nurses, students, and even the general public interested in this subject, as well as to medical laboratory technicians, and phlebotomists whose training will be accelerated and benefited by the reference to my book.
