| Soldiers
may soon be able to treat and heal themselves right on the battlefield
if the latest technologies being developed by pentagon-funded
doctors and scientists come into action.
The new technologies include painkillers that soldiers take
prior to battle, a bandage that promotes skin repair with
electrical impulses, and a sensor that can detect internal
trauma through the eye. The devices would allow soldiers relief
from acute pain and blood loss, and would keep them on them
on the battlefield and fighting without a need for further
medical attention for up to 96 hours.
