Last week at the Wilderness Medicine Club meeting, we had a great evening discussing fish hook removal over some delicious burgers at Dram Shop on 9th street, followed by some excellent group bonding around a mildly competitive and mostly entertaining game of bocce ball at Union Hall.

The paper that we discussed can be found here:

Bryan Jarrett was nice enough to put together a nice summary of this paper which talked about the 5 commonly described methods of fish hook removal from skin.  That summary can be found here:

Please join us for our next Wilderness Medicine meeting that is going to take place this Tuesday, December 2nd at 7:45pm at Berg’n.  It is located at 899 Bergen street here in Brooklyn. I look forward to seeing all of you there.
