The most likely medical problems that a guide will encounter in the field are insect bites and stings, dehydration, and minor cuts and wounds. However, a guide should always be prepared to handle larger medical emergencies, like snakebites, heat stroke, larger injuries or wounds and other more serious medical conditions.
Your main concern as a guide in an emergency is to take charge, remain calm and make the person as comfortable as possible by treating their symptoms as best you can and, if required, either getting a doctor to them or them to the doctor as soon as possible.
