Tweezed off

[NQ6U]

I was working on the boat and got a splinter from some rough teak. Not a big one, and there was plenty to grab on to, but teak splinters can cause trouble if you leave ’em in too long so I went looking for tweezers.

In Ella’s first aid box I found:

• A couple of kilograms of ancient band-aids in yellowed wrappings

• Three pairs of bandage scissors in sterile bags

• One unwrapped pair of bandage scissors

• One YUGE pair of hemostats, big enough to clamp off your femoral artery

• Not. one. god. damned. pair. of. tweezers.

I finally found a more reasonably-sized pair of hemostats and managed to get it out using those, but it left something to be desired on the usability front.

I have about 7 tweezers used for small electronic components in the workroom.
Few more around the house from old first aid kits ;)

The upside Carl is that now you are aware of the need to update the kit. The inconvenience now may just have saved your butt in the future.

It wasn't until the last 4 years or so before I had my own set of tweezers. I still keep them hidden.

I sterilize a needle, and do surgery.

I usually just end up digging out whatever with my leatherman.
