Advice on medical supplies? I (probably) need to get my first thing of quikclot, for example.
So, I started with an OSHA workplace first aid list for each household vehicle, built them a la carte with top quality and good price, and added some additional goodies; glucose tablets for diabetics, quikclot, a sharpie that I attached to the tourniquet (common practice is to write the time of application of the tourniquet on the victim). Funny bandaids. Ended up adding some flares to the kit since my husband keeps being the first one on scene to car accidents.
The thing is, the worst injuries we're likely to deal with are going to be on the road, or a gun related thing. I always have quikclot on me when I have my firearm with me, and I really should have a more complete mini gunshot kit; accidents happen, and even justified shoots ought to be followed up with medical attention if possible (this looks good to the people in a position to judge if the shoot was justified too, in addition to the whole being morally right thing).
Got a bag of charcoal for home for poisoning. There's some other stuff that my household has picked up, but it's more been what we're happened to come into possession of than the ideal assortment.
At this point, no veterinary meds, no chest wound kit, no narcan, no Mexican stuff. No Zpack, since I used mine a few years back, but all of those might be good to have. Have a rescue inhaler that I consider part of the household medical chest even though it's one of our prescriptions, considering that the only use so far hasn't been by the person it has prescribed to.
