Peak Oil Medicine Video: Why we homeschool our children

Robinson is author of "Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative", and a leading expert on innovation and human resources. (Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 20:03) - More TEDTalks at http://www.ted.com «

Peak Oil Medicine Video: Patient Care During a Catastrophic Event…
Posted by Paul Roth on 27th March 2007
Here’s an extra video for this week. This is a MUST SEE for all in the healthcare field who have thought how they might care for mass casualties after a peak oil-related disaster or other event. While it specifically addresses the pandemic influenza threat, there is much that can be applied to any similar situation.
The place I found it is not the usual YouTube or google video, so I am unable to embed it in this post - you’ll have to click here to watch it.
When you get to the next page (at the Research Channel), scroll down and find the bit below the speaker photo that says “Watch this program now“. Select whether you want to use Windows Media or Quicktime format, choose your connection speed and off you go.

Peak Oil Medicine Video: Multi-drug resistant TB (video #2)
Posted by Paul Roth on 7th March 2007
This video eloquently explains the mechanism of drug resistance:
Learn how tuberculosis is transmitted and why the evolution of multi-drug resistant strains of TB in Russia affects us all.
09:53
While I think it was originally part of some sort of creation versus evolution TV series, withhold judgement and look beyond that aspect of it, to the important information on TB.
