	How the battle of Waterloo could help doctors fight death from multiple organ failure
		Waterloo's battlefield is reigniting the debate about whether modern medicine is always good for you, according to University College London (UCL) scientists who are launching a study of why some critically ill patients recover and others die from multiple organ failure - the number one killer of patients in intensive care.
		Survival statistics from the battle of Waterloo throw up an even more radical theory - could it be that multiple organ failure, triggered by severe trauma or subsequent infection, actually represents the body's last-ditch attempt to survive in the face of a critical illness?
		Professor Mervyn Singer's lecture, 'Are we Ignoring the Lessons of Waterloo at our (Patients') Peril?' held today at 1pm at UCL, is part of a series of lunchtime lectures which are open to the general public.
