EMS Infectious Disease Playbook, June 2023

Because they always tell you first. 100 Pages that includes high consequence infectious diseases (HCID)

This was one of the kindest, most informative Tweets I’ve ever been tweeted in a thread, provided by @keesaroo:

This is the document, all 100 pages. I copy it below for you, just in case it disappears from the internet and to serve in my library of collected documents. You can view and download the pdf HERE, or read below as a paid subscriber. Many thanks and all blessings!

Each one of you is greatly appreciated.

CAUTION: Some images may be disturbing.

I added notes for certain mentioned diseases, together with clinical notes and pictures, when appropriate.
