Medical preparedness is one of the most overlooked parts of readiness — not because people don’t care, but because it feels uncomfortable, complicated, or easy to put off.

In this video, I share a personal experience that changed how I think about medical readiness, even when doctors and pharmacies are available. The reality is that emergencies don’t pause everyday health issues. Infections happen. Cuts happen. Chronic conditions don’t stop just because systems are under strain.

Preparedness isn’t about expecting disaster. It’s about buying time when access is delayed — even briefly.

We talk about:

Why medical preparedness matters during normal times

How small health issues can escalate when access is delayed

The responsible role of antibiotics in preparedness (and their limits)

Why education matters more than stockpiling

How systems usually strain and bottleneck before they fail

This video is not medical advice. Medical preparedness should always be legal, informed, and responsible. It doesn’t replace doctors — it supports care when access is delayed.

I also share a resource I strongly recommend:
The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help Is NOT on the Way — a practical, education-focused guide that emphasizes decision-making, not fear.

If this topic resonates, I’d love to hear from you:
What part of medical preparedness feels hardest right now — access, cost, knowledge, or knowing where to start?
