TRAUMA SHEARS! I knew I was forgetting something. Those and a knife slipped my mind since I always have mine with me.storysunfolding wrote:Great answer. I didn't see it but make sure you have high quality trama shears, a window breaking seatbelt cutting tool and of course a knife.

Consider; sunscreen, aloh vera, emergency cell phone (if you don't have a regular cell phone. all cell phones in the USA with a charge should dial 911 even without a carrier), ibuprofen, anti-diarrheal medicine, saline for contact lenses, sting relief solution, anti-bacterial ointment, medical glue.
If you're trained & have the money & don't care how big your bag is; cervical collar, b/p cuff and stethoscope, ice packs (and heat packs if you're traveling in cold weather), splinting devices, aluminized emergency cover..... The list could go on and on. Do you have a trailer or side car? I'll add more....
double up on the anti-diarrheal medicine if you hit lots of trucker stops when touring.
I was asking the origional poster about his training. Also, what do you intend to cover? I threw in the window smasher seatbelt cutter tool b/c they are great if you ever respond to an accident.
Like in spinal issues... oh god, i can't even watch TV or a movie without thinking of everything that could go wrong! Not that I have an issue with it really. Now instead of "oh "poo poo", that's going to hurt" it's "oh "poo poo", grab me that BVM with ~15ml's flowing and get ALS!"Scoutmedic wrote:TRAUMA SHEARS! I knew I was forgetting something.

Good Luck in EMT class. As for the fecal matter, dodo happens. Especially during traumatic situations.
