I received this email today and thought I’d share it with other sailors…
We are a group of medical students from Norway, Germany and India making a customized marine first aid kit as a bachelor thesis at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Netherlands. Unfortunately, not much research actually exists about what problems sailors face whilst at sea. In order to get a better overview, we have created a brief questionnaire that will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. This will provide us information about injuries and illnesses that you may have faced during your trips and how you dealt with them. Feel free to post the link to our questionnaire on your blog if you think your followers have valuable insight to share! If you would like for us to share our findings and recommendations for a medical kit with you, we kindly request that you indicate this in the appropriate section in the questionnaire.

The survey took me about 15 minutes to complete and it is well thought out. It got me thinking about our medical kit and I decided I’d find a better first aid at sea book, and oh yea, more good drugs! -Rich
