Blah Blah Blah...I'm not an EMT, or a Doctor...all those replies and not one answer? Anyway, check out the Adventure Medical Kits line. I have the "Backcountry," and it's great. I paid about $80 for it, has near everything I would ever need, including a nice medical reference book, SAM Splint, burn stuff, and lots of crush proof vials for the very few medicines that aren't included (prescriptions)...all quality products, too. This kit has everything a "civilian" would need, and if it doesn't...there's plenty of room for you to add things. As a matter of fact, I added all the necessary items for survival and made it my PSK. Basically, if you can't sustain someone with the contents of this kit long enough to get to the hospital or wait for the ambulance, they weren't gonna make it anyway. Sorry, it's pretty blunt...but in my experience, it's been the truth. Hope that helps.<br><br>John McIntire
