Medical bag contents

What does the well equiped amature gyn keep in thier medical bag?

Items I collected; blood pressure cuff, opthalmo/otoscope,stethoscope, thermometers (oral, rectal and candy), enemas, suppositories, gloves, lube and of course ... specula. You may also need to have on hand rope and a ping pong paddle for the uncooperative patient.

Well, let's see. I currently have:

3 Graves specula (S,M,L)

3 plastic anoscopes

4 Digital Thermometers

1 Glass Thermometer

*pending spot for a candy thermometer when I get one!*

4 syringes with catheter tips (2 10cc, 4 60cc)

1 Sphygmomanometer (BP Cuff in general terms)

1 Stethoscope

1 Douche/Enema Bag and standard douche/enema nozzles (Kara Combination Kit)

1 Flashlight

1 small vibrator for "patient hysteria treatment and therapy"

3 small sounds for urethral dilation

Surgilube, KY Jelly and Vaseline

Latex Gloves

Thermometer probe covers

Q-tips (long and short)

Cleansing wipes and Alcohol wipes

That's the very extensive list of what's in my doctor's bag. I've been collecting little by little for over 2 years now and every purchase makes it even better!

Don´t forget i.m. injections (vitamins, vaccines, or just salines, every painful but safe)

Uretral sounds and uterine sounds... not to forget

Microscope slides for cervix samples

pap smear swabs.

Mine has contained over the years: Plastic Specula; Plastic Anoscope; Glass Rectal Thermometer; Electronic Thermometer;

Sphygmomanometer; Stethoscope; Opthalmoscope/Otoscope; Enema Bag and Nozzle; Penlight; Sterile KY Jelly; Vaseline; Latex and non-Latex Gloves; Tongue Depressors; Q-tips; Cotton Balls; Gauze Pads; Tape; Band-aids; Cleansing Wipes; Alcohol Wipes; Suppositories; and Sterile Disposible Syringes, etc.

Definitely go for the ping pong paddle along with some glycerin suppositories
