"The Seaman's Medical Instructor" by N. D. Falck is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. This work serves as a guide for sailors on how to handle medical emergencies and health issues that may arise while at sea, especially for those who sail on smaller vessels without a surgeon onboard. The book aims to educate seamen in practical aspects of medicine, emphasizing the importance of self-sufficiency in medical knowledge during voyages. The opening of the publication begins with the importance of navigation and recognizes the contributions of seamen to society while highlighting their vulnerability to accidents and illnesses at sea. In the preface, Falck discusses the generally overlooked medical needs of these sailors and presents his intent to provide practical medical knowledge in accessible language. He passionately critiques the existing medical literature which, he argues, is often too complex and therefore not suitable for the majority of seamen. The author explains that he will start his instructional guide from the fundamental principles of human anatomy, laying the groundwork for understanding various medical conditions and treatments relevant to life at sea.
