Our Military Medicine forum is "nursed" (sorry) by Biscuit, assisted by several military folk from the medical field. Whether you have questions concerning ancient prosthetics, nurses in the Second World War or post-war traumas, all is handled there. If there is a new medical breakthrough, this forum will be the first to bring it out in the open for discussion.
