My husband has been hospitalized for surgeries (is a good thing - transplant) and having been there for many weeks we collected lots of useful tools! There were several pairs of scissors for suture removal, hemostats (clamps) that are great for bindings and such, adhesive removers wipes which are great for cleaning sticky stuff from needles, and then of course the bags and bags of skin care products. I kept everything till I got home and then sorted out what we can use and gave away the rest. I don't think I will ever have to buy bath soap again.
