This is probably only going to be interesting to people that are "preppers" but it is something people ask a lot about.

So, what do you do for medical prep? What kind of medications? What kind of med kit? Do you build your own kit or do you have a pre-built one? Do you have a "medical plants" book or something?

I have seen some companies pop up around that will now prescribe you various things like antibiotics, hcq, zpack, etc that you can't just buy at the store and a normal doctor won't prescribe them to you because you are "prepping". But, they get around that by having doctors on staff and they will prescribe a medical kit with various non OTC medications and instructions/guides of when to use what. I feel like that could be useful if you live somewhere that there are large scale natural disasters or if you live far away from medical facilities. What does everyone else think about those companies? Have you used one before?

All good stuff. I would also encourage everyone who carries ( and even those who don't) to have IFAK/Stop The Bleed/ Blow Out Kits in their vehicle and/or close at hand. Build your own or buy a legit prefab. There are a multitude of knockoff C.A.T. tourniquets on the market. Just ensure to procure some with a metal windlass. Pick up a copy of Tactical Combat Casualty Care. TCCC. The book on field medical care was rewritten thanks to the lessons learned during GWOT. Take a course and practice, practice, practice. None of this gear is worth jack shit if you do not know how to use it.
