This episode of iRescueRadio starts with a quick discussion of the strange sounds of digestion that happen from time to time… and sometimes at the most inopportune times.

This week’s hot topic is about laws that are up for vote regarding booster seats in Michigan.  The laws are with regard to age, and not height.  If you’re shorter than 4′8″ you’re in danger of injury in a car, regardless of age, but the laws refer only to age, being 8 years of age for the cut off.

The top medical news story is a discussion of vehicles that are fun but not necessarily safe.

For the puzzler this week, if you come across a victim that was thrown from a car in traffic… what do you do?
