Preventative Medical Preps
This week Mike and I discuss Preventative Medical Preps. What can you take care of now that would be much harder in a SHTF scenario. Easy and safe procedures now that could be deadly without professional care.
Some of the topics covered are getting your wisdom teeth removed. Teeth pain is some of the worst pain possible. Getting them removed now could save you a ton of pain later. No one wants to remove teeth with ice skates.
Mike and I both agree that getting lasik done might be the best prep you can get done. Not having to deal with glasses or contacts ever again would be great. Breaking glasses when the grid is down goes from uncomfortable to deadly.
Later We disagree about whether to get your gallbladder removed. Mikes point is that it can burst and you can live without it. My counter is that the gallbladder is needed to properly digest dietary fat. So having it removed and needing to go into ketosis during periods of starvation could be bad.
