[FILTERED TO MEDICAL STAFF]

I was wondering if one of you might be able to help me catch up on the medical advancements of the last ninety years? I graduated from Trinity College in 1918, and while I graduated with honors and was well respected in my time (I even got a job with a prestigious teaching hospital in England), it's been a long time and there's just a lot I don't know anymore.

I appreciate any help you might give me. I've tried reading some journals online, and they're just well beyond what I learned. But antibiotics are incredible. Absolutely stunning. What I would have done to have something that could stop infection so efficiently...

If nothing else, at least medicine's advanced a lot since I studied it.

	I've been in a fair bit of danger in my life, I can't deny that. But make sure it's for a good cause? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
