Drowning Resuscitation


Mission

Recommended Posts

This month's Surgeon's Journal article is about drowning resuscitation, looking at the several ways a seaman could be nearly drowned, how he might be retrieved, a brief look at books that talk about drowning from around and slightly after the golden age of piracy and the various methods that were used to revive victims.

You can read it by following this link.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Ah, the Golden Age; you may drown, but at least you'll die warm.

I can easily imagine why the nose stimulation was thought to work. A happily recovering, but unconscious, guy has some extremely sharp odors brought under his nose and is shocked awake, and everybody assumes that the odor brought him back to life.

Thanks, Mission!
