Medical Supplies

Despite the fact that no movie ever seems to pay attention to this fact, you will need medical supplies. Whether it be band aids or penicillin, somethings going to happen where you will need them. Chances are most pharmacies were looted in the beginning, so try a less obvious location first. You know that one friend you have that's always sick? You know who I'm talking about, everyone has one, go to his house. Chances are you'll find everything from ibuprofen to a mysteriously acquired cure for AIDS. If this is not a viable option (too far away, burned down, etc...) try a gas station, they won't have much but at least you'll get some pain killers, and maybe crack.

Avoid hospitals and clinics, chances are thats where everyone went in the beggining and the places are crawling with zombies. Instead, try private residences or, if you're feeling lucky, a college. Stick to a small one either community or one in a small town. All campuses have a student health clinic, and it should have some of the basic supplies you need. As a last ditch effort try a family planning clinic. They probably deal with STDs all th etime so they should have some antibiotics on hand.

I never would have thought to go to someone's house before I went to the hospital. I would carry as much medical equipment as possible.

I would of never thought of getting medical supplies. My biggest concerns would be food, water, and weapons.

Lol very true Robbie, medical marijuanna could really come in handy in a zombie attack. But I must say that band aids don't seem very affective in my mind... but I'm not the zombie expert...

Nobody wants to know if you like band aids on your butt hole...

That seems strange that the movies don't point out the medical supplies. Plus, I never thought of ransacking someones house for supplies. Hmmm....oh! Brian! You didn't mention nursing homes!

I am definitely going to stay away from hospitals. Maybe I'll be like Pauslen and start my own bunker!

I think painkillers or antibiotics are top priority. They'll both come in handy.
