MARCO Grand Wounds for September 1, 2013

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will discuss "THE HISTORY OF ANESTHESIA." 

 

BASICALLY THERE were THREE TYPES OF ANESTHESIA.  First there was vocal anesthesia where you tell the patient "It won't hurt."  Then there was local anesthesia where you inject around the object with a numb--er."  Finally, there was "Bulgarian Anesthesia" where you hit the fellow on the head with a  hammer!  Vocal, Local and Bulgarian!

 

Just think about what it was like back during the Revolution when all they had was alcohol and vocal and Bulgarian types. 

 

Tune in, should be fun.....

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 18, 2013

From Warren KD4GUA:

     This Sunday we will resume our discussions, the subject being "CELIAC UPDATE."  Can a 50 year old man suddenly come down with Celiac disease?

      Those who heroically checked into the net the past two weeks when no medical discussion was held cannot receive Category II credit since no educational program was presented.  However, credit will resume this Sunday.

    While in Washington D.C. I found the capital quiet and tranquil as Congress was not in session and all the journalists had left town.   Visited Dulles Air Museum, the American Museum of American History and went to Mt. Vernon--what a view from the front porch overlooking the Potomac River (the Spanish pronunciation is Pot-O-Mac).).  Mt. Vernon has had a renaissance since my last visit and is even more enticing to visit--besides, Washington was and is my #1 hero. 

     Join us Sunday, should be fun!
