I am doing a workshop for those who travel to other countries and one of the sessions I doing is titled "Every Day Carry of the Medical Professional"
The sole purpose is to see what you carry with you on the job as a medical professional. This session is to give ideas for when they work medical clinics in other countries. I have talked to others on what they carry as part of there daily carry to get the job done.
To get things started this is what I carry with me when I work in the clinic and/or field.
Stethoscope, Littman Master Cardiology
Pen, Black Marker, 2" Cloth Tape, Note Pad, EMT Shears, Quick Reference Cards
Small Infection Control Kit in a Hawke EMS 2 Fanny Pack.
So I would like to hear from you and let's make this fun for all.

Stethoscope, $15 bucks in a box at Walmart (I have a Littman Cardiology, can't hear much out of it), Bandage scissors, pulse x, tape, wipes, gloves, at least 8 pens, and most most importantly, HEMOSTATS!! Useful for so many many things.

face wound, have always have carried a flashlight since), Altoids for me in peppermint or spearmint,and
a small blank notebook.
