Cool stuff, Keith!  I have a few of those items leftover from my wild and mispent youth running EMS in the days of Johnny & Roy, and some others courtesy of a grandchild that gets an infusion every other day.

 

Another area that has generated some useful items is the Admirals fiber crafting (knitting etc.)  She has surrendered a few small knitting needles and crochet hooks to the cause 9and all it cost me was more yarn...one would think 500 skeins was enough!).

Yep, there is lots of useful stuff in that profession. My father trained as a MD (but never practiced) and after he died, I found a lot of interesting 'tools' in his drawers, including a collection of old-time anatomical scalpels (really heavy duty - I don't like to imagine what they were used for  ), a really sharp bone chisel, needle holders, arteria clamps, pincettes, etc.

And don't forget your dentist. They have dental burrs by the score that they don't use and are happy to part with.
