AMEDD FTX Part Two

The AMEDD FTX was a lot of fun. I had a great chance to see how our wounded soldiers get from the battle field to the Combat Support Hospitals (CSH). Many of us had an opportunity to be casualties and see first hand how the process works. While at the Level II facility I played the role of the nurse (a stretch for me, I know). I worked with LT Taylor who is a PA. He taught me a lot about the different injuries we saw and how we would treat them. He too was impressed with my knowledge of truama and my quick throught process of "what to do next". The following are random pictures from the week. Hope you enjoy!
