A Thrilling Scientific Adventure of Improvised Medicine. Surviving the Extremes focuses on a few stories of survival from some individuals who, against all odds, had an outstanding recovery and escaped from sure death. The book is written by a doctor who was bored of the mundane atmosphere of a doctors office and decided to take his medical talents into the outside realm and help other people out in a medical emergency. Throughout the book the author uses medical jargon and frequently explains human anatomy and physiology in a way the the reader can comprehend. This book is fascinating to readers with a scientific thirst of knowledge, and those who enjoy a book about scientific adventure and improvised medicine. Because the author is not in his office, he must often come up with ways to heal the body without traditional medicine. The chapter "The Desert" begins introducing the reader to the main theme of the book while also leaving the reader with an increased understanding in the medical field by telling the story of a Italian marathon runner (Mauro Prosperi) who is stranded in the desert. The runner got off track and quickly found himself in a dire situation facing death from hyperthermia. The author does an excellent job in this chapter with his imagery and tone setting as the reader can almost feel the heat of the desert and the hopelessness of the runner. Facing this unfortunate turn of events, the runner looks to be done and attempts suicide. When the blood is too hot it becomes so thick it is unable to flow from the body and he runner survives his self inflicted wrist lacerations. Prosperi takes this as a sign from God and eventually makes it out of the desert. This passage fully encapsulates the theme of the book and the authors 4 components to survival; Knowledge, Endurance, Luck, and the will to survive. This book could be made into a television series with each chapter being one episode, which would have a high appeal to aspiring medical students and survivalists alike. The writing style of the book is formal and the author is very specific in his descriptions of circumstances. This book deserves 5/5 stars because it thoroughly details the accounts of many individuals who, in an average ER, would be told there is less than one percent chance of survival, despite all odds survived the extremes.
