Someone invented Medi-Gel!

Archive: 10 posts


Remember, in Mass Effect, the magic cure-all gel that could clean all wounds? Well, now it's real, thanks to some student at NYU. Only called "Veti-Gel" because, hey, can't make it too obvious.

This is a very amusing reference to a videogame. Also, it is an extraordinary breakthrough that could possibly save millions of lives. But hey, priorities.

Science is awesome, isn't it? Now, using medicine mid-gunfight might become as reliable in real life as in videogames! 2013-03-09 14:39:00

The saddest part of this is that it will probably be sold to a huge pharmaceutical company, and it will be horribly expensive.

I hope that doesn't happen, because this looks incredibly useful for everything.

Well, they're at least going to try and make it with their own smaller company (he set up a company with a business student), so hopefully they're able to maintain control :/

Unfortunately, nowadays it seems that every new idea needs to be controlled by a mass conglomerate... :/

If they don't make one with Scooby-Doo or Dora on it I'm sticking to Bandaids. No pun intended.2013-03-10 18:47:00

Even if you have a five inch gash in your stomach?

Flawless logic.

Apply the gel, then put the band-aid over the wound. Seriously, you guys never got hurt when you were kids?

Yes, but I never put band-aids over wounds.

Really? Didn't notice it until you told me. :o
