First Aid Kit Readiness

[Dinny]

My first aid kit for the coming year will include SSKI, Levaquin (replaces the Cipro ) and a PharD friend of mine is looking into some homebrewed ST 246.

This seems like a good way to get sued. Outside of a clinical setting no one should be using any prescription meds without a script from a doctor. How would you know if someone is allergic to any of those meds and how would you treat them if they had a severe reaction? Remember that even paramedics have a scope of practice and a medical director who determines what they can give and when to give it. If something were to happen I bet your PharmD friend would quickly become your ex-PharmD friend. I sure wouldn't want my license on the line because I supplied you.

I can provide current Army Combat Lifesaver course slides to anyone who sends me a PM containing their email address.

Thanks, Dinny
