Sounds good to me.
I would especially like to have the newsgroup include discussions about
treating injuries and medical problems while in the backcountry,
where the liklihood of having extensive equipment or expertise is remote.
I would also hope that mountain rescue (which necessitates medical treatment)
would be included in the scope of this group.
