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.

Posted by Paul Roth on 27th March 2007

Take two for this week: An interesting segment about the Permian Extinction and the possible role of global warming in releasing massive amounts of methane from hydrate deposits.

The Permian Mass Extinction

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:

Why Does Evolution Matter Now?
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.

Peak Oil Medicine Video: Must see on drug-resistant TB (starring Brad Pitt).

Posted by Paul Roth on 5th March 2007

This video pretty much summarises in graphical format the content of my last post (note minor differences in duration of medication courses - 6 rather than 12 months - but the concepts remain the same).
