Medicine in space

This week, two American astronauts returned to Earth after 8 months of their involuntarily long stay on a space station. Healthy, it seems, but when you need medical care during such a long trip, how does that work? How is medicine administered in case of zero gravity? Professor Volker Hessel from the University of Adelaide is researching this question.
