The Home Doctor — Practical Medicine for Every Household is a 304-page comprehensive guide that teaches ordinary people how to manage common and serious health situations at home. It was written by Dr. Maybell Nieves, a head surgeon at the University Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela, who developed these protocols during the country's severe healthcare crisis.

The book covers everything from recognizing heart attacks and strokes to stockpiling antibiotics, treating infections, managing dental emergencies, wound care, and much more. It is designed for scenarios where professional medical help is not immediately available.

The primary author is Dr. Maybell Nieves, a head surgeon with over 10 years of experience. She trained at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, Italy, and works at the University Hospital in Caracas, Venezuela.

The book is co-authored by Dr. Rodrigo Alterio (who provides additional medical validation) and Claude Davis (a well-known self-reliance and preparedness expert who ensured the content is accessible to non-medical readers).
