One of the common jokes between my wife and I is to setup a "home surgery kit" for some point in some horrible dystopian future.

However, we were thinking it out and were moved to wonder why there isn't more straightforward "how-tos" as far as medicine is concerned: how-to relocate joints, how-to suture, how-to collect appropriate equipment, how-to operate in a sane and sanitary manner.

This is, of course as lay people... for all we know all the information is available to whoever is willing to look for it and take the risks involved with amateur medicine.

However, I wonder if what trained people think about the ethics of making professional medical techniques and equipment available to lay folks.
