Ideally, I don't
want my Veterinarian treating me for
anything.
And check out number seven! Podiatrist?
|
Here are
some of the basic medical supplies
in the kit:
|
|
|
|
Several uses
for baking soda are described in this
kit.
Arm and Hammer would also like you
to know that you can
brush your teeth, wash your clothes
and freshen your refrigerator
with baking soda. For a more complete
product, why don't they
just add a touch of penicillin to
the mixture?
|
|
Oh.
|
|
This might be
included more for entertainment...
|
|
OK, OK ... it
can be used for rashes too.
|
|
Now we're getting
to the drugs, of which the kit contains
three kinds.
The first listed is penicillin, possibly
of great interest to those shelter
occupants
with dry, itchy skin or rectal problems.
|
|
Sulfadiazine
appears to be an alternate medication
for those who cannot take
penicillin and visa versa.
|
|
Now we're getting
to the good stuff!
|
|
It's probably
easy to develop emotional problems
when a Podiatrist
is in charge of lubricating your rectal
tubes.
|
The instructions
also state that "Emotionally disturbed
persons" should be
given this same dosage to calm them.
Now that would be a real downer-
wasting
the barbs on a stomach cramp. Just use
the baking soda! |

Certain
abandoned locations are noteworthy for more
than interesting architecture or a creepy
atmosphere. Many old institutions were equipped
as Emergency Fallout Shelters, comforting
communities during the Cold War. The shelters
may contain anything from large drums of drinking
water to sanitary bathroom supply kits; the
more well-equipped ones contained Medical
Kits. Of course after 40 or so years, the
medications have long since expired.
