Just a quick heads up for readers. We recently had “an incident” at home – a minor thing, nothing too serious, just a bit sore – that required some first aid. As a trained first aider, this shouldn’t have proven too much of a problem for me.
It was only when I started toward the first aid kit that I remembered that last time I used the first aid kit, I noted that it needed some replenishment. The popular items get used up quickly and the less used ones go out of date. But then, typically, I hadn’t done anything about it. And of course, one of the worst times to remember that the first aid kit needs replenishing is when you’re heading for the first aid kit with a damaged child in hand.
That’s why I’m suggesting that you make a note or set a reminder to check your first aid kit this evening.
And why not tell your friends and family to do the same. Because it’s no fun to have improvise and make a plaster out of leaves, and antiseptic poultice from soil and beagle hair, I can tell you.
If you want to know what you need, here’s a good guide (especially for those of you with kids). Alternatively, Dischem have got you covered for the basics or more.
