That's a great resource, thanks, it certainly makes for bleak reading.
The section entitled "Medicine at the End of the World" concludes with the statement;
"The practice of medicine would go back 200 years."

Free kindle books, I think, from the bibliography ... I downloaded the AusPrep book, but never looked at the bibliography at that time. Today I did, and disappeared down a fairly large internet rabbit hole.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-There-No ... ext&sr=1-5
This edition is £0.00, first published in 2018. The original 2005 edition is still on sale in kindle form, for £7 something.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-There-Ch ... ext&sr=1-6
Also £0.00.
I logged out of Amazon so I could post "clean" links on here, so I haven't even snagged them myself yet, let alone read them. And, full disclosure here, I don't really trust psychiatry as a profession (psychiatrists don't trust people in my former profession either - counsellors and therapists). But its good to know your options, and "Where There Is No Counsellor" is yet another book I'd like to write
There are freely available pdfs among the recommendations in the Austere Medicine handbook - I'll be working on those this evening, I think.

I followed up on Vikram Patel, and came across The Mental Health Innovation Network, jointly headquartered at WHO in Geneva and the London School of Tropical Medicine. Patel is a professor of International Mental Health/Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow in Clinical Science. Fairly highly qualified, then
I carried on mooching about on the Mental Health Innovation Network, and found a page of Training Resources:
https://www.mhinnovation.net/resources? ... type%3A199 There are others, but these are the training ones.
I do think this sort of thing is going to become increasingly important - anything funded by a local authority in the UK is under threat, with funding having been reduced by 50% since 2011. And people talk about the NHS having been ringfenced, and I just don't believe it.
