I would like to have a pack in my first aid kit just incase.

Yes the coagulation system is ainteresting thing. Our lab has a drug in clinical trials which inhibits blood clotting but does wonders for wound repair.

Chronic wounds disappear on treatment. Normal wounds heal faster. Quite amazing.

If only the venture capitalist company would give us the promised funds to get the drug on market.

If I ever came into a lot of money (IE win lotto) this would be the kind of thing I would invest in. about 1 in 20 pay off but the one that does pay off usually pays 200 times your total investment and it would be great to see Australian inventions kept in Australia giving jobs to Australians.

That is simply because I am probably the most unattractive person on the forum. Not just in looks but personality and personal hygiene

I am your all round revolting almost human being.

I have made women scream in terror when lift door open and make small children cry on sight.

I am not naturally an ugly revolting person, years of hard work have gone into achieving this level of repulsiveness.
