I'm glad you are mate.
It really caught me off guard how much post care treatment would be needed. I'm treating the wife's cut, but also one of her feet is rubbing against the top of her wellington boots and blistered. To make it worse, she's been scratching it in her sleep and picked up a small infection, so that's being treated too. All in all, I looked at how much my equipment could cope with it just this alone. Okay we have more than enough.
Then thought about treating my own injuries, and some other team members, and some neighbours, and so on and so forth. It adds up to about 5 times more than I initially thought. Considering I've got 6 full first aid kits, it's really a hell of a lot more gear in post injury care than expected.
