#12  Auto correct made it car instead of far, but the carjacking risk is an obvious point!

#11  The military has trained medical personnel at inner city trauma centers for many years. Most realistic training outside of a war. Also, advances made during war time also feed back into civilian trauma care.

As for commuting: MRAPs, remote weapon stations optional.

#10  Going to and from work will be car more dangerous than a billet at Bagram.

Just getting to your car in the parking lot will be far more dangerous, unless that was what you were trying to say NMBS.

#9  Will they be eligible for a right shoulder patch and combat medic badge after a six month deployment? Going to and from work will be car more dangerous than a billet at Bagram.

Military ‘live tissue trauma training’ using animals in the US – its purpose, importance and commentary on military medical research and the debate on use of animals in military training

#6  The best knee surgeons in the world during the late 20c were in Belfast, home to the IRA and its practice of kneecapping anyone they claim is a Loyalist spy, agent, whatever.

Maybe the best ER/trauma surgeons of this century will be trained in Southside and Westside Chicago.

#4  Military medic people have also been trained at some Indian Health Service facilities, very relevant for situations they may encounter around the world.

#3  I remember some years ago when Special Forces Medical NCO training at Fort Sam Houston was forced to curtail the use of dogs (dog lab) for surgery training. The hue and cry, oh the humanity of suffering pound inhabitants.
