Doctor…I believe your podcast might not be functioning. Or, more likely, it’s just me, but please check it out.
No, it isn’t just you. I can’t stream or download a playable MP3 either.
thanks for the feedback. Bloody Russian hackers! its fixed now so please try again and enjoy!
Doctor…What do you think about DARPA’s injectable foam blocks. The site is: “www.scientificamerican.com/article/injectable-foam-blocks-bleeding”? This is, unfortunately, not an actual link, because I don’t know how to make a link. It is, of course, still in the early research phase, but I would think if it proves worthy that it could be a real lifesaver in many situations, but especially like those you have in the rural areas of a country the size of Australia.
I’ll look at anything to improve on salty water
