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.
