		<description><![CDATA[This blog has once again served as a vehicle for raising the profile of Antarctica and in particular expedition medicine, to my great satisfaction.  JuniorDr Magazine, a print-and-online publication based in the UK and targeted at all doctors &#8216;in training&#8217; (ie. before reaching specialist/consultant level) came across the AntarcticDoctor blog while researching a piece on [...]]]></description>

The frequent discussions on CCM-L and Med-Events on health economics are a constant source of interest to me.  Bear in mind that the majority of those that argue throughout the discourse [...]]]></description>

Eight days ago a member of the Norwegian team at Troll, 200 km east of SANAE IV, suffered a fracture to his ankle.  It&#8217;s a bad enough injury that he needs to be evacuated to surgical care [...]]]></description>

Telemedicine is a term used to describe the use of resources in one location to practice medicine in another. Frequently, those resources are the brains of specialists. A simple everyday example of telemedicine is when a [...]]]></description>
