Dr Kildare was very popular in Britain when I was growing up, though I don't recall seeing the magazine. I had the good fortune to meet Richard Chamberlain in Canada 1997 on the set of a TV miniseries called The Lost Daughter. He was amusing and gracious with fans and had fond memories of Kildare.

Or has the definition of that word changed? It used to mean something that stopped the blood flow. It had to be tight, and it had to be released frequently, or else your foot would die. Current treatment for snake bite should involve a Pressure Bandage. Literature from the 60's suggested a ligature to prevent lymph flow, but I don't know if that is the correct explanation, and a pressure bandage is a lot harder to confuse with a tourniquet. The pressure bandage is safe, and should remain on until the patient is hospitalized and anti-venom is available. They’re still teaching you to use a tourniquet?
