Subject: [SG]Speaking of Nanotech, was The Nanite Revolution

Sorry, I know it's an old thread. Just wanted to mention one of the most
interesting Military SF uses for Nanos I ever encountered. It was in the book
"Side Show" by Rick Shelley.

The technology was called a "Soaker." It was a large gauze bandage, treated
with antibiotics and anesthetic, IIRC, but also embedded with Nanobots.

These little guys were programmed to go in, get the shrapnel, bring it to the
surface where it could be removed, and also start working on repairing tissue
damage. Quite an interesting idea. I don't think it would affect game play at
all, but you could use it as the PSB for your medics....
