Pants McTrousers asked:
For reasons that I would rather not go into, going to a hospital is not an option. I have an incredibly wide array of knives several pairs of needle nose pliers. I have gauze, medical tape, needles and thread, magnets, alcohol, peroxide, bleach, hypodermic needles and powerful painkillers. I have some rough idea of how stitch myself up, but I’d better get the thing out first. The wound is to my left shoulder. I still have full range of motion and my bones seem to be intact. I’m still bleeding, so I sooner is better than later.
Hypothetical situation by the way…

A Dull Man asked:
Picture this, you are on a horse, in the middle of no where, and you have someone or a horse that has a cut and needs some stiches. I was told that you could use a hair from a horse’s tail to sew up a cut when there is no medical supplies to do the job. Has this ever happened?

matt asked:
Let’s say the nurse had access to basic medical supplies, like a scalpel and a chest tube (the kind of supplies you’d find at a clinic but not at a hospital), but no respirator or chest xray machine. How would a nurse deal with a collapsed lung?
