(Individual) First Aid Kit, what and where
- Thread starter Skara
- Start date
Hm this is a good thread. I keep a first aid kit in the car, but don't take one airsofting. If I was going on a milsim I may take a simple personal kit, but the sites I play at all the marshalls are first aid trained and each carry first aid kits on their person all the time, so you're never more than 20 seconds from someone with the proper training and equipment to treat you before the ambo arrives. The first aid kit we keep in the car is fairly complete, and I have some extras in as well such as inflatable splints and the like. Found out the hard way that there's no suitable bandage in it to make a sling which was a bit crap I was out with my folks and my mum fell and snapped her arm in three places. Used to have Oramorph too but it expired last year so it was thrown out, and while my last doctor who'd been our family GP for 6 years or so was on board with "just in case" prescriptions from when we used to go on 2 and 3 day offroading and camping trips, since we moved, the new doctor is miserable as sin and won't touch anything like that with a barge pole. Anaesthetic in the first aid kit is limited to OTC lidocaine.

Think you’ll find the reason the new Doc won’t give you ‘just incase’ prescriptions is he could get struck off for doing it ! Giving out a script without an actual complaint to treat is one of the biggest no no’s in the NHS , so even though he’d been your gp for years the other one was really risking his job doing so .

We probably should all have some eye wash! I know I’ve needed it a few times and if you buy the small saline bottles from Tesco’s it’s pretty cheap!
plus plasters, or that gauze tape. But that’s mainly for chaffing/blisters. Maybe some roll on for those rubbing chubby bits haha

The last one wasn’t NHS, and would prescribe to keep our first aid kit well stocked when we were going places we’d be unable to get to a hospital for a couple of days if there was an accident. Obviously if you just sauntered in and asked for a barrel of tramadol she’d send you back the way you came in, like any good doctor would. But if you’re offroading and hiking in the mountains where there’s no cell signal, and nowhere near a hospital anyway, she’d make sure we had the medicine and gear to deal with any accidents.
This new doctor is an NHS GP who is just terrible - even had to go to A&E after he injured me doing an exam really rushed and roughly handled for a complaint I didn’t have in the first place. He doesn’t listen to anything anyone has to say, and just says “take paracetamol and go to hospital if it gets worse” for every complaint ever. Dad went to him worried about a lipoma, he didn’t listen to a word he said and just gave him a script for paracetamol and told him to go to hospital if it gets worse. You could go in with any complex medical issue to discuss, and you’ll leave within 90 seconds and a script for paracetamol, every time. Wish we could change but now we’re in a little English village and he’s the only one if you don’t want to drive 10 miles.
