Medical Clearance
This post is from Ann.
While Bob has been busy geeking out on the electronics (necessary though geeky) I have been busy with final provisions. Always seems to be one more thing to get.
Yesterday I scored a huge victory when our friend Robin, an ER Doctor, asked about our medical supplies and offered to review them with me. I can't tell you how fortunate I feel for having Robin walk through all that we have and discuss our medical options based on these supplies. As a result I have a much better understanding of what medical steps to take in case of infections, emergencies, etc.
Wow! I thought we we in great shape and truly we were not in bad shape but based on Robin's help and a trip to the local pharmacy we are set. I recommend every cruiser find this kind of resource. Thanks so much, Robin!
OK, so you added a case of gin, right? And a barrel of olives to keep the arteries open.
Seriously, do you guys have the phone apps that walk you through first aid? My app is called First Aid, divided into sections (Emergency first aid, Basics, Cpr; Medical, Injury, and Environmental first aid). Never had to use it, thankfully.
I hope all your new supplies stay unopened in their boxes for the duration of the voyage. Happy belated Cinco de Mayo.
Such a fitting post since I am nearing the end of my infectious disease sequence. I have found the last four and a half weeks to be all to relevant! I hope it doesn't become relevant for you two!
My pleasure to help out!!
