AB Basic  medical  equipment  may  not  be  available  when  needed.  In  developing  countries,  for  example,  even  some  of  the  largest  hospitals  lack  basic  medical  equipment.1  Louis  Pasteur  reportedly  said,  "Chance  favors  the  prepared  mind."  Be  prepared  to  improvise.  This  book  supplies  ideas  about  how  to  make-do  when  faced  with  shortages.  Problem-solving  skills  will  take  you  the  rest  of  the  way.
