Please tell us a little about yourself
I’m a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and Life Fellow of the American College, as well as a member of the Wilderness Medical Society. Amy is an advanced registered nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife. Together, we’re the authors of books on “survival” medicine as well as designers of an entire line of medical kits for austere settings, as well as founders of the top ten survival website DoomandBloom.net. We’re contributors to many magazines in the homestead and survival genres. Although we’re retired from active medical practice, both of us maintain active licenses in our home state of Florida.
You have a website called doomandbloom.net what is is about and why was it created you start it?
DoomandBloom.net is a medical website that cover topics related to wilderness, homestead, and disaster medicine. It has close to 1000 articles, podcasts, and videos relating to medical issues, but with a twist: It assumes that the average citizen has been placed in an austere setting that has taken away modern medical professionals and facilities as an option. That leaves them as the highest medical resource left to their family. Our mission is to put a medically-prepared person in every family.

'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose search for 'lorem ipsum
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from
Lorem Ipsum passage and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from section. Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
