#its about using a product internally to stop bleeding after severe pelvic trauma

[wryn-redacted-thrives]

just stumbled across a medical article whose title starts with “Let us settle the controversy” which in this case seems to be “shut the fuck up” but with decorum. It’s basically a bunch of Australian doctors saying ‘give us back the thing we’ve been using to save lives for decades you dumb fucks’ and throwing a textbook through the metaphorical window of the Australian equivalent of the FDA.

“Unsurprisingly, this reflects over 50 years of published literature and established practice and is supported by major international guidelines.”

It ends with encouraging others in their field to publish their safety data “to prevent a repeat of these events in other countries.”

this is possibly the most passive-aggressive thing i’ve ever read, and also an incredibly badass paper, goddamn.
