What supplies you need for medical emergencies

Urgent care kits generally have more items than a standard first aid kit. Emergency physician Kaitlyn Lavarnway, DO, explains what's important to include. Dr. Lavarnway is completing a fellowship (specialized training) in emergency medical services at Upstate. “The Informed Patient” is a podcast that covers health, science and medicine, featuring experts from Central New York’s only academic medical center. Upstate Medical University has four colleges (Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions and Graduate Studies); a robust research enterprise; and an extensive clinical health care system that extends way beyond Syracuse.
