Two great talks from Dr John Hinds, Consultant Anaesthetist and Motorcycle Doctor, sadly killed this year at Skerries Road Races. The first, ‘Cases from the Races’ is about his work, and the second ‘Crack the Chest. Get Crucified’ focusses on resuscitative thoracotomy, from the SMACC conference in Chicago Irreverent, wise and relevant: his death is a great loss.
