Mark Twohey is hosting today’s edition of Newstalk Today. We begin with an interesting idea from Dr. Abdel-Rahman Lawendy, who currently works at the London Health Sciences Centre. What if we were able to streamline the operating room to get patients into surgery sooner? Could this ‘surgi-centre’ idea prove to be a medical game-changer? We debate the pros and cons in Hour 1. Later in the program, Retired Major-General David Fraser explains what ‘dirty bombs’ are, and why Russia keeps referring to them so often during their current battle against Ukraine. Plus, the President of the UFC recently got approval for a ‘Power Slap League’, which involves fighters taking part in a back-and-forth face-slapping match. The goal is to knock somebody out, but former MMA artist Dan Hardy says it’s a stupid idea that shouldn’t see the light of day.
