 Could you send me the picture to place next to the unopened one on the Virtual Museum website in the near future?

These weren't unusual in the late 70s and early 80s. They were intended for
resuscitation carts. They held a plastic sheet with pockets that could be
unrolled to show all the contents. Each pocket was labelled and held a box
with an IMS flip-top syringe. You opened it, and took out the glass syringe
and plastic barrel each protected by a bright yellow cap. You flipped these
off and screwed the two halves together to create a functioning syringe. I
append a photo taken on scene at a road crash in around 1985 where the sheet
is shown unrolled. The labels and drug boxes can be clearly seen. If you
look closely, you can see an assembled upright syringe on the left of the
photo.

which rather spoils the post, but rules is rules***

Subject: Code in a Can

Last fall, I inquired if anyone had knowledge of an EMS artifact called
"Code in a Can" by medics. It was used in Iowa when Pope John Paul II
visited in 1979. There is a picture of this "Code in a Can" now available on
the National EMS Museum website. Please take a look. We would love to know
if anyone else has seen anything like this anywhere.

Thanks to Tony Collins of Clive Fire Department in Clive, IA for sharing
this unique EMS artifact with us.

We look forward to any and all comments, questions or information you have!

Thanks,

Jules
