Prepare for Hospital Stays or ER Visit
True Preparedness Includes Planning for the Inevitable
No one wants to end up in the hospital. It normally means that we screwed up something and now someone else, doctors, have to fix it. The point is that you will inevitably end up there. So be prepared.
Having recently returned from time helping a close friend off the continent, Will talks about what you need when you are in the hospital.
The preparations a different for ER visit and planned stays.
Obviously an ER visit is rarely planned and can last for a few hours to days. These visits can often begin in chaos, being moved around on a gurney several times, sometimes laying on a gurney in a hallway. You may end up near other people, some of whom have extreme illnesses that may be contagious. Those around you may even be dangerous. You need to be prepared. If you get hurt or gravely ill, you need a small bright colored go bag ready to go for someone with you to grab and go. You need a list of your prescriptions, allergies, medical history and other information pertinent to your health care. You also need to include things such as a few bottles of water, a few days of your meds labeled and bagged. You need things like space blanket, a few N95 masks, some nitrile gloves. It would also be good to have some storage stable protein bars in case it takes a while to be admitted. Other suggestions are an extra set of underwear, socks, loose fitting shorts, sweat shirt and pants.
Planned hospital stays are much easier. The best part is that you avoid the high stress, high risk area of the ED/ER. That said you still will have needs and you won’t always have a chance for a do over. So, put your stuff together now. Treat it like you are going on an airplane. Every separate bag or kit inside; hygiene, electronics, etc. should be labeled with contents and your name on each one. Plan on maybe velcroing it to the handrails on the bed/gurney. The contents should contain most of what is in the ER kit but can also include other things that you would not risk losing in the ER.
