I appreciate the effort anyways. We get scripts for roceffin, a heavy antiobiotic, that I mix with lidocaine and inject for my wife. She has a long term illness and is prone to serious infections. I'll see if I can save some of it in the future.

I just had to dig a little splinter out of my thumb that was 3/8" deep. Trust me, not just tweezers, but good tweezers helped. It's amazing that even after all that digging, it immediately felt better after it was out. (Or maybe that's because I quit digging !). Seriously, anyone with some medical training, or kids, should have a decent surgical kit. Amazon has some for around 30bucks.

I always keep tweezers on me.among some other items.and yes they've come in handy a few time.ans so has the finger/toe nail clippers i keep me as well.i dont leave home with out.

we do sometimes things at the ER where you have to use tweezers,sometimes those pre-made packs have a plastic thingy,which locks and as some doc's prefeer the metal ones,I'll pick those plastic ones away....for later use.

don't know if you all have the same system as I have here,but those iv fluids have an exp date,so pls check them too on a regular basis and if it's old-> out with it! you don't wanna cause an infection with old fluids.
I just did that;check-old-out-in with the new.

As long as it has no leaks, no floaties, it clear, and had been stored in a decent area then IV fluids just like meds are good for YEARs after their expiration date. The WHO had done a lot of research on this subject.

haven't seen that ,they kept telling in school;always check,if it's old,out it goes..
must do some digging on WHO sites.

My daughters said if it's clear and hasn't been in an environment of constant temperature changes it should be fine though they did add a warning, if the solutions contains multi-vitamins they wouldn't recommend using it past expiration date, the FDA has been known to extend the expiration date on warehoused I.V. solutions during shortages with the only requirement visual inspection, the girls said it's not unusual to use expired I.V. solution 4 to 6 years past expiration with storage being a big factor.

seems like you don't learn every trick of the trade in school..
so my stash might be slightly better with IV-fluids had this post come up sooner....
