I found this particularly important as many of us, myself included, stock up on IV's and starter kits. This is a medical procedure in which correct application is extremely important. Enjoy

Thanks for posting this...
IV's... what fun to do... We learned how to use them last year in BioMed class... pigskin is an oh such wonderful thing. /sarcasm
In all seriousness, IV's and their appropriate solutions, (Ringers, D5W, Saline, etc.) could be the one thing keeping you alive one day in a trauma situation post SHTF... Its a great idea to have them on hand along with some other Trauma supplies...
