I take blood thinners to keep from having a severe stroke. What I fear most is getting a serious cut in the shop and then bleeding out before reaching the hospital. You folks who are in a similar situation might want to look at "QuickClot" , it is a new material that, when put on a wound, will make the blood clot.

Good info. I just bought some of that for the first aid kit at work, but we've not used it yet.
Also a good idea to have a telephone where it can be reached. Portable is better than a cell phone for 911 as it gives your address to the operator. Cell phones don't do that yet, but will. Ed snipped-for-privacy@snet.net

you better be seriously cut before you use that stuff... burns like the dickens, and not real fun to get cleaned out of a wound.

Not to mention that some of us have to be on the second floor of our home for a decent cellular signal. I have no cellular service in my basement shop.
