My wife had an infection that was a result of abdominal surgery earlier this year, and was going septic from it. It was pretty bad, but it would have been far far worse if I'd not seen it coming before it got really bad, and I only recognized what was going on because of the training I've received, the initial stages looked pretty non-scary.
Good catch!

I don't see how people can go off grid without quite a few medical skills, basic assessments. Do most who do this have a way to contact help in a true emergency?
