Anaesthetic Trivia - Curare

Chondrodendrum tomentosumCurare is a compound used for dart poisons by tribes in South America. It is derived from vines such as, Chondrodendron tomentosum and Strychnos toxifera. The first non-depolarising muscle blocking agent, d-Tubocurarine, was identified in 1935 by Harold King. It was found in curare that had been packed in hollow tubes.

Sponsorship

 I have just had a phone call from Matt Faulds regarding sponsorship and money made via the website.

16 books have been bought through Amazon via the CAT website. This has raised £45 for CAT.

Also, Matt is hopeful for sponsorship from GE and Baxter.

This is brilliant news and directly due to Matts hard work (although I do have to recommend you to get back to the books for the upcoming vivas Matt!!).

 

Please could I ask you all to use the CAT website if you are buying anything through Amazon. It won't cost you anything extra but will raise some funds for CAT which can then be ploughed back into events.

Still some technical problems

 Sorry but there are still a few gremlins working their way out of the wookwork. One thing that has occurred is that part of the rota archive has become inaccessible. This will be restored gradually but all new rotas will be available immediately.
 
Apologies for any problems

Sorry if you've tried to use the site over the past 24-48hrs. A severe technical hitch has now been fixed.

Thanks.
