	This type of blanket using water circulation is already available.
Not only is there heating, but cooling is also provided.  A typical
manufacturer is Aquamatic, which produces various models under the
tradename of "K-Thermia".

	No danger of electric shock or magnetic fields with one of these
suckers!

	Available at your local hospital supply distributor, starting
price around $ 4K.  Explosion-proof models for use in environments
containing ether or cyclopropane are avilable at extra cost.

	:-)
