Bookworm Room linked to this article about a new product for battlefield medics.
I was just reading a early-twentieth-century piece musing about the technological advances of the nineteenth century, and wondering whether the twentieth century could possible sustain the pace.
I understand there was some talk of closing the patent office.
ReplyDeleteA police detective I know claims to have stopped the bleeding of a deep gunshot wound by using a tampon.
ReplyDeleteI read (inconjunction with this article elsewhere) that Army medics sometimes carry tampons for that purpose.
I imagine that this is an improvement.
