The medicines on a ship are essential to create a minimum of "well being" and let the crew know that you will take care of their needs. Few years ago the doctor of a Russian icebreaker was aware of having appendicitis. The weather was bad and did not allow rescue by helicopters. Padded with painkillers and thanks to a game of mirrors the doctor operated himself, helped by the cook. Often there is on board a budget of pills against seasickness. In this regard they say: "if you get seasick, at the beginning you are afraid of dying, then you are afraid not to die." An antique medical instrument can be a beautiful object to collect or to present.
