Intelligent First Aid’s Talking Kit

Is there a doctor in the house?

Okay then, how about the next best thing: Intelligent First Aid’s Talking Kit?

This emergency kit is divided into nine color-coded sections (Breathing, Bleeding, Shock, Head & Spine, Bone, Eye, Burns, Bite & Stings, and Basics) packed with all the appropriate fixings. There are clearly written directions for every situation, but in the inevitable event things are hectic, all you have to do is press the magic button, listen to the audio instructions, and follow closely as the voice talks you through a fixer-upper.

The last thing you want do to is make a boo-boo.
