[Magdalen] Saline.

[M J _Mike_ Logsdon]

Attn Medical Sorts:  One of the things I'm supposed to do is, after I apply the special ointment, is to place on top of that a bit of gauze lightly moistened with saline solution.  On top of that I'm putting a sterile non-stick pad as it is.  What is the bit of saline gauze all about?  All I can guess is that it's an extra layer of anti-bacterial protection.  I ask, because it's the first time I've encountered such a thing.
