It's about drama not accuracy

I did CPR on a person who'd had a cardiac arrest secondary to a mortar hit on his location; his chest caved in, and we then worked for well over an hour trying to get him back and stabilized, but we lost him. It was an exhausting, bloody, and mortifying day. After that, the three of us (I was with a trauma doc and nurse) just collapsed on the ground outside and stared into space for an interminable time. That was a tough day.

I did CPR with a medic in northern Germany from a deuce and a half pinning a soldier to a wall. That was only 15 min before German trauma team arrived by car. Chopper was 15 mins behind them. Unfortunately soldier didnt make it. Was not one of mine he was in another battery. But was physically and emotional exhausted when it was over due too adrenaline letdown. Had shakes to.

Outstanding share. Had my wife watch it also. She was an OR nurse. Handled everything from trauma to routine. She agreed with the trama surgeon on most but rated others below his. Being the old crusty nurse that all the good surgeons loved her. Thanks for the share MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D.
