no problem, I haven’t read it in a year and this was not something on my mind when I had two hospitals down the street from me in the US. I took it for granted that they’d always be open or staffed or that I’d have “insurance.”
Where I am now, there’s no 911 or paramedics or whatever to speak of so, yeah , couple suture kits and intramuscular antibiotics … I wish I had some goodies in case I mess around and piss off some Africanized bees or get bit by a snake or something. I encountered a massive nest of those in central Texas a few years ago which has me a little more nervous about wandering around in the forests or abandoned buildings 3 hours from anything. It’s not paranoia, it’s reality here that you’re on your own in most cases.
But the more I’ve watched things unfolding at home , I think I would reconsider that and maintain the same supplies even if I was in the US. again.
Editing to add: the most useful one , I don’t know if it’s on that list; but it has ended up being silver paste. I fought a fire in my kitchen successfully (old house in the states , long since sold) but got pretty nasty burns. Everything was out and I was slathering up with the silver by the time the paramedics stomped up the stairs. Hopefully you’ll never need that but if you ever need something in your prep kit, you need that.
