Clerics + bandages... is there ever a good reason?

[stealthbeast]

tl;dr- As a Cleric, are there good reasons to keep a few stacks of bandages?

I suppose bandages are helpful from levels 1 through 7, when you don't have meditate.

I suppose it's not entirely moronic to carry bandages to give to people (though this isn't really in the spirit of the question).

I suppose in an incredibly desperate situation, where you barely survive a fight at 1% hp and 0% mana, with a weak dot on you... You MIGHT clutch a save with it. This would essentially be sacrificing an inventory slot for a freak incident that may or may not ever happen, and that if it DOES happen is (probably) indicative of poor form and could've been avoided. Also, you're a cleric, so death matters differently to you, making sacrificing the slot even less appetizing

And... that's it. That's all I got. How 'bout you folks?

Edit: I cannot BELIEVE I just put this in the wrong forum.
