Yep. My parents also had this huge first aid/medical diagnosis tome thing that I spent so much time with as a kid. It had a bunch of pictures of various injuries and illness symptom tables, along with what to go about them. It was actually really fucking rad, and I'm only just now remembering it. You really did have to look hard at your environment to find something to do, but sometimes there were gems.

Yes! The Harvard Family Health Guide or the American College of Physicians Home Medical Guide! And my dad always bought every new edition of the Green Beret Medical Handbook!
