Me gustaria talvez que se hiciera un listado (como el que queria, depurado, añadido,etc) y que miembros y no miembros, que quisieran donar un o varios de los articulos y que se vayan tachando con forme se va completando el botiquin.
Tambien me gustaria que se hiciera otro post con sugerencias de otros articulos de mas adelante al Botiquin(como peptobismol, un poncho, bolsas o botes de agua, una colcha, una flashlight, baterias, un silbato, guantes desechables, candelas, fosforos contra el agua, un contenedor para todo el botiquin, etc). Que se le asigne a una persona que participe en X salida el botiquin y que se entregue al finalizar la actividad.
Estoy orgulloso del desempeño de la Junta Directiva y se que lograran hacer de esta necesidad, un logro mas. Espero donar y colaborar con algunos articulos para el botiquin. Asi que es cuestion de tiempo, para que me corte o doble, o me de Selvinitis. para contar con la ayuda del Club.
Este es el listado, por favor revisar, editar, chequear y actualizar.
Saludos

General Comments
1. This is not a comprehensive list. There are too many variables. Many people have their own favourite choices. It will
however get you through most situations.
2. I have not included personal medication ( hypertension etc) and also not all OTC products, or moms favourite kiddies meds
3. I have not included insect repellants, suntan lotion etc
4. Some of the items are for qualified persons only. If one inadvertantly injects enough local anaesthetc IV, death may result
5. I have not included items like adrenalin, IV cortisone, Snake bite antivinene etc(which can be lifesaving).
Only persons with the correct training should attemp using the products. Adrenaline is schedule 4, so you need something
behind your name to use it legally and properly. Should there be a doctor in the group drugs like Adrenaline and Pethidine
could prove lifesaving
6. Try and use flexible or strong plastic containers to prevent breakage. Try and store meds in a cool place( <25°C )
7. I will appreciate suggestions for items to add to this list. As I must justify items on this list, I will decide wether new items
will be added or not. Every person makes his own list anyway, and above items are suggestions ones only
8. Any person who needs further advice or explaination of an item is free to contact me
