DOC K'S MEDICINE LIST
doublehelix:
One thing to add on the dental side to the list:
Instead of the temporary OTC filling kits, on advice of my Dentist I bought some glass ionomer filling material for semi-perm SHTF tooth repairs.
Good track record in Africa in daily use, and it was <$100 on Amazon

Combined with some dental tools, it's a good expedient repair method.

This set is also relatively cheap for temporary crowns. Good to have on hand in case you run across a dentist:

Caution: I am not a dentist and I don't play one on TV
