Health officials have issued a warning over a new strain of super gonorrhoea that is resistant to two crucial antibiotics - including a last-ditch resort.

I remember before we could leave the ROK (South Korea) in the 80’s that we had to get “rodded” , an extremely painful procedure, that had to be negative before we were allowed to leave country. Once ‘rodded’ we were restricted to base until departure time or at least had an escort for off base business.
