Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Improvised Medicine: Providing Care in Extreme Environments AB - In austere circumstances, a functioning emergency medical system (EMS) may not exist or an existing system may not function as it should. In these circumstances, you may not be able to reach patients or they may not be able to get to you using normal methods (e.g., the roads are impassible).
