Clearing out my recently deceased stepdad's office today. He was an Aviation Medical Examiner and a sole practitioner GP before that - both previously at a different building. He appears to have moved items from his 1980s medical practice when he moved to this house in 2001!
The oldest expired item was 1983 and lots from 1989 and even 2001 and pre 2020. Lots of 1980s suture material, expired needles and endless expired dressings. Fortunately he still has a sharps box.
We also found a yellowed airway, 2 catheter bags, a suprapubic catheter hole making metal stabby thing, 4 stethoscope heads, 5 blood pressure cuffs, endless packets of effervescent cocodamol and strepsils including some which had oozed sticky thick yellow stuff over half the contents. Various ancient ECG machine parts and 1980s and 1990s era medical machines.
Mum tried to get him to clear this stuff during Covid while he couldn't work but he wouldn't have it and said she could do it when he was dead. So he is now dead and I am mocking him soundly!
