On Carte Blanche Medical on Monday, 15 March at 19:00 on M-Net, the team investigates the seemingly innocuous hubbly bubbly, as well as looks at the devastating effects caused by head injuries.

Hubbly Bubbly
The hubbly bubbly or hookah, which has its origin in ancient cultures, dates back hundreds of years. Yet, today it has become a youth-oriented pastime. Originally confined to townships in South Africa, hubblies are passed around beaches; picnic spots; and even restaurants. They seem innocuous, with sweet, fruity tobaccos giving a pleasant smoky smell and taste. But tests conducted by Carte Blanche Medical yielded horrifying results.

Head Injury
Head injuries can have devastating long-term effects, including major psycho-social complications. And it’s all too common in South Africa, with our high road accident rate and violent crime. 20 March is World Head Injury Awareness Day and Carte Blanche Medical speaks to neurosurgeons working at the coal face.
