Welcome to Ask Dr. Prepper.

This newsletter publishes emergency preparedness and survival medicine information written by a board-certified family physician.


Why subscribe?

The medical system is the US is terrible and confusing to access even outside of a “time of crisis”.

Pseudoscience, folk remedies, and snake oil are everywhere on the Internet masquerading as truth.

This is especially true in the prepper community, where self-reliance and anti-establishment values are common.

Therefore, when times are bad and the average person gets sick, they are set up to be taken advantage of by people who will exploit their lack of medical knowledge.


Cost

Subscription is 100% free- one post every week and access to the full archive.

If you would like to donate and support future content, there is a link to Ko-fi at the bottom of each page. I appreciate it, but I don’t expect it.

Reliable information shouldn’t be kept behind a paywall.


Newsletter contents

Each email will contain:

  1. An emergency scenario and its corresponding medical threat.

  2. A plain-English explanation of the pathophysiology (the “why” of disease).

  3. The basic steps of emergency treatment for the threat.

  4. Steps that you can take to prevent the threat.

  5. A short quiz to make the facts stick.
