First Aid kits

I think an important thing to have in this thread (but try not to derail it) is to cover where to learn how to use all this stuff. I could shoot myself in the leg while in a fully functional, but deserted, hospital and I'd still die. I can use bandaids and neosporin.

I was going to mention that. I am not an EMT or nurse. I spent two years in night school thinking I wanted to be a nurse but found out equipment does not talk back.

5 years in a MASH with 3 deployments and a year in the sand box means you get cross trained in a hurry. On top of that our Hospital has all kinds of courses that are mandatory for the patient care staff but optional for the rest of us.

There are courses that you can take.
