BATTLEFIELD SURGEON USING FISH SKIN TO HEAL COMBAT WOUNDS
Description
A veteran British Army surgeon is using fish skin to heal war wounds with techniques he developed while treating soldiers during the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Dr Steve Jeffery, a burns surgeon and professor of wound study at Birmingham City University (BCU), who has worked with casualties from the Iraq War and Afghanistan, found he had to think outside the box after leaving the forces in 2020 before travelling to Armenia to help injured soldiers.
