Take a look at these gloves . Found out about them on this forum and they work great.
Allows one to maintain dexterity, highly cut resistant (I just really tested them by mistake, and no blood) and inexpensive. I got mine at Northern Tool and Equipment.

As to helpers, I could be lured away. No experience (legally) in medicine except combat lifesaver course 15 years ago. (you really don't want me to handle the IV's) However, I carry stuff real well, and I promise to not just be self loading luggage.

And if something needs shot, I know I can do that.
