WMIG Jan. Meeting

We are honored to have Dr. Greg Davis join us on Jan. 29th to talk to the club about the pathological changes seen when a person is exposed to extremes in temperature. He will discuss some of the physiological injuries that occur and improvised treatment techniques we can apply. Whether it's hyperthermia or hypothermia, the body does its best to retain full function and homeostasis. Come hear what happens when temperature homestasis gets pushed past its breaking point.
