Defense Secretary Robert Gates pinned a medal on this Marine. I know I had to tear up a little and I know a few other people around me did too. This is his testimony and his story:



God Bless America and those who protect her.

FOXNews.com - Australian Doctors Use Vodka Drip to Save Poisoned Tourist's Life

Pascal Gelperowicz, who led the man's treatment with Todd Fraser, said the man was unconscious when he arrived and was treated immediately with pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, which works as an antidote to the poison.

The hospital's alcohol supplies were soon exhausted, however, so they purchased a case of vodka to help finish the job. "We ... decided the next best way to get alcohol into the man's system was by feeding him spirits through a naso-gastric tube," Gelperowicz said.


Isn't it odd? The guy drank anti-freeze in an apparent suicide attempt. Strange that alcohol is an antidote to ethylene glycol and that the dosage given was the equivalent to 3 drinks an hour for three straight days. So binge drinking can be good for you.
