Surgicalcric and Sacamuelas,
You told me what I figured to be the case. I don't keep emergency supplies of meds in the vehicle, but I've wondered if I should. When we were in Japan, a 4 hr road trip could turn into a 2 day road trip if there was a wreck. I always carried meds just in case, but stopped when we returned CONUS.
We have a family member who has seizures due to a head injury. A while back, a member of this board suggested I carry the following items and gave me the appropriate instructions for use:
Seizure Kit
- Bite stick (tongue depressor with tape or a commercial model) to prevent breaking teeth or biting tongue
- Instaglucose or other sweet shelf stable source of dissolved sugar (siezures use an incredible amount of energy and sugar stores...violent siezure activity can often result in low blood sugar)
- Bulb syringe for suction of secretions
- Rag for GP
- Change of clothes
I will add them to your list, Surgicalcric.
