Hey Y'all. . . (just back from Texas)

So, I am planning to do a lot more house calls and I'm

putting together my "black bag." If ya ever need a good

one just go to a Home Depot or some such store and

look at electrician' s bags. Lots of pockets and very

durable and cheap (mine was $29.99). A long, long, long,

long time ago there used to be standing room only lectures

at our local hospital on "What to carry in the black bag," but

no more. . . so. . . what do y'all think should be in there???

My ideas so far:

stethoscope

BP cuffs

oto/opthalmoscopes

thermometer

speculum

stuff to repair lacerations

UA dips

Preg tests

Strep tests

Emergen-C

PulseOx

All kindsa fun drugs:

Predisone

Vicodin

Phenergan

Cipro

Keflex

Amox

PenVK

Motrin

Tylenol

Benadryl

Epi-pen

Other ideas?

Looking forward to IMP CAMP!! Can't wait to meet everyone.

I love lists! Since I'm just back from a month on an island 15 miles off the coast of Massachusetts (go ahead, hate me), may I suggest tweezers for removing ticks? There is a special tool for tick removal, and I wish I'd had it! ( it was discussed a while ago, does anyone remember where to get one?) Tweezers will do also.Other items to include in your bag:glovesdoxycycline (for those engorged ticks)If including fluoro strips, add a small black light. Is there a flashlight black light?KathleenRocephin Antibiotic drops for eyes and earsBionix Ear currettes, disposableSterile Q-tipsFluoro strips for corneal abrasion diagnosisDermabondBacterial culture swabslidocaine and a scalpel for I+Dsuture removal kitSteri-stripsFrom: Pamela Wible <roxywiblecomcast (DOT) net>To: Sent: Sunday, August 2, 2009 1:21:27 PMSubject: What to carry in the BLACK BAG?

Use a wrist Omron BP cuff, very small and works for obese great. Zofran iv

better and there is a cheap version, toradol better than opiates in a bag, have

some depomedrol and a urine culture vial, depending on the patient a straight

cath, plenty of KY and gloves.

opthalmoscope has a black light on it I think. . .

Good grief, Dr Antonucci. How big was that carry on?Hey that makes me think. If one is carrying a practice around, why not one of those small roller travel bags. I could get a lot in one of those. But then again it might take me a while to find it and unravel it. k You runnin a whole practice or what, out of that black bag?I make house calls I bring a thermometer my stethoscope a phone my lap top maybe some kind of light maybe some gloves... my eyes and ears.This is a house call or a house based practice?

I live rural and do lots of outdoors stuff, so I have a black bag and a back

pack.

Black bag is the usual stuff with stethscope, BP cuff, thermometer, otoscope

that runs on D cells (got that when I went to Haiti, easier than pull ins in

other countries), currettes, culturettes, pulse ox ( we live at 8800 ft). Strep

test, now flu test. NO drugs to speak of except tylenol, advil, vicodin and an

epipen.

In the back pack/saddlebag for backcountry horse trips I have

disposable suture kit and extra scalpals, lidocaine w/, suture material

Lots of

gauze

Other instruments for removing fish hooks etc, although leatherman works OK.

Cast padding and materials for splints

Kelfex-this really is painful IM, but it gets the job done

Betadine and benadryl

Why the emergency c? should at least care something that works.
