Ollie asked:


I self harm and can’t afford the medical/ first aid supplies I need. I do not want to go to the doctors or A&E because it is pointless, but I really need to get regular supplies because I have to change the dressings very regularly, and I almost always have something that definitely needs to be dressed and covered. Please don’t lecture me on stopping, I have tried and am now trying to cut down. Does anyone know anywhere in the UK that could send anything, or any charities that offer them?
Thank you for your answers.

How can I heal cuts without any medical supplies in hand?

Patriots asked:


Hi, what brings me to this question is that while at the mall with my friends, a friend of mine was in the arcade and got a cut from a rusty steel bar. He was bleeding badly and quickly and since there was no rubbing alcohol I remeber my mom using perfume to help disinfect so I did the same and I helped him until medical attrention arrived. So my thought is god forbid if I’m in a situation where there is no medical supply like rubbing alcohol and I have to help someone with a big gash or something deep how can I help or heal it? Thank you

I bought a ready-made first aid kit. The kit includes lots of sensible medical supplies such as bandages, iodine, antibiotics etc. But what’s with the sticks of chalk, why is chalk in a first aid kit?

I dislocated my knee today, but my doctor was all out of knee immobilizers, and every medical supply place is closed. Is there a difference between a knee immobilizer and a stabilizer?
