2015 Medical Advances: Intro/Index

2015 has been an exhaustingly prolific year for making medical advances. [well, most if not all have been done by others; but, I’m still exhausted]

Here is a series of at least two posts which outline the years advances. They, of course, will eventually lead to new guidelines for medical practice (if they haven’t already) so we should at least keep them in mind.

[Late Addition: Benzocaine is reported to be more allergenic when applied topically. But Cortizone IS back over-the-counter these days; although, as a product that’s much more expensive than if they had just left it alone with a few dosage limitations.]
