What's in your DIY medical kit?

Super glue? What would be glued with it?

It was originally used in the 60s and 70s to glue wounds together on the battlefield. Some people use it for gluing back ripped skin.

In all seriousness, there is a medical-grade superglue that uses solvents that won't irritate the skin, and has been used in place of stitches in numerous situations.

We keep a pretty standard kit floating around that seems to always be empty of tape, Band-Aids, and Advil.

Interestingly, it's the same at work. We spend so much time focusing on critical trauma care I can pretty much stop a major bleed, plug a chest wound, or shock someone's heart with what is at the range. Now, look for a Band-Aid to deal with slide bite and it's impossible.
