The Medical Kit

We are very lucky to have fine physicians and fine friends who are fine physicians. They have loaded us with advice and gear in anticipation of the nasty fall in Peru or the nastier infection in Borneo. In addition to the standard Malarone and Cipro and Lomotil, we are armed with syringes to inject a variety of ‘caines in preparation for Doctor Greg’s use of scalpel, sutures and bandages. We also have steroids and pain stuff, gout medicine and nausea inhibitors, and the rip cord of last resort: the med jet membership. Dana has all the indications and contraindications on the two spreadsheets on the right below. But the most important thing we have are the cell phone numbers and permission to call our physician friends at any hour of the day. Priceless.
