Jellybean 82; Extraordinary tales of ordinary heroism. An Iraqi Story.
The best thing about making the jellybeans is that I get to meet some thoroughly excellent people.
While at the CICM ASM in Sydney I was introduced to a gentleman named Wesam Al-Basaam and he had a story to tell. When I say gentleman I really mean gentleman.

A History of General Refrigeration
Ancient societies figured out that hypothermia was useful for hemorrhage control, but it was Hippocrates who realized that body heat could be a diagnostic tool. He caked his patients in mud, deducing that warmer areas dried first.
Typhoid fever, the plague of Athens in 400 BC and the demise of the Jamestown Colony in the early 1600s, led Robert Boyle to attempt to cure it around 1650 by dunking patients in ice-cold brine. This is likely the first application of therapeutic hypothermia, but it failed to lower the 30 to 40 percent mortality rate. One hundred years later, James Currie tried to treat fevers by applying hot,...

“ipsa scientia potestas est”
Toby Fogg talks to Matt McPartlin about the ever growing Airway Registry ANZEDAR
This is FOAMed. Thus there are a lot of people that are nothing short of obsessed with airways. It’s as if humans were primarily a giant “Pass the Parcel” game with a super difficult intubation inside. This will allow us individually to be the airway super-hero that we know we are. Or do we really know?
We don’t have super powers. None of us ...
