Time is a killer on the battlefield when troops are wounded, but the Pentagon is betting that “hibernation” drugs being pioneered by an Australian researcher will mitigate that problem.
Dr. Geoffrey Dobson of Queensland’s James Cook University and the Division of Tropical Health and Medicine hopes that through science they can essentially rewire the body’s natural response to trauma so that deployed troops have enough time to get their injured comrades medical attention.
