Last night Feb 24th, with Mission Commander Hugh to assist in medical translation, did a complete inventory of First Aid Kit. Some items are expended (like the "H" shaped knuckle bandaids) but the kit is still very functional. Some medicines are expired but their replacements are already in stock (like antibiotics). Will get Flight Surgeons permission to dispose of old medicines and will notify him of what replacement parts are needed soonest.

This morning I had two patients for minor cuts and scrapes. I also sent someone to bed with possible cold or sore throat (or maybe it is just exhaustion and that we are talking all too much and he is wearing out his vocal cords in the dry air).
