This sounds interesting, so that's why I posted it. It seems like the Air Force is way ahead in improving health care, and that is great.
NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — For Airmen working in a hospital’s intensive care unit, getting a second opinion from an experienced physician serves as an invaluable commodity.
Airmen at the Mike O’Callaghan Federal Medical Center here will have that opportunity thanks to a partnership with Veteran Affairs to bring the first Tele-ICU to the Critical Care Unit, improving the quality of patient care.

Comfier! What do you guys and girls want, a suite with maids and butlers? I went to the
Pleiku airbase in Vietnam, and saw your eating and living conditions. All they needed was servants and they'd be right at home. Awesome chow too.

I am on the fence with this one. With the money invested it seems like you could have just gotten more care givers without it feeling like big brother.

PO3 David Fries I'll put it this way. It's going to be very expensive and something else will have to be put on ice until it can be afforded.

SGT (Join to see) - Oh, I have no doubt that it's going to be very expensive. I still remember when the hospital I worked at out of Corps School got new monitors that were able to be monitored from other monitors. It was amazing and insane at the same time.

PO3 David Fries - If it does improve a vets chance of healing or living, there's not a limit on the costs. After reading this again, I think it's an awesome idea.
