BBC Two - Frontline Medicine, Survival

 

Am watching this right now, it's fascinating. Trust the BBC to get it bang on the mark.

The Nerve Block is ingenious, a vast improvement on morphine!

Also, the medics/doctors/nurses etc... don't think I would be able to do that for days on end. Harrowing in the extreme.

 

The last time I met Surg Cdr Small he was reading an ode to a haggis while dressed as Wee Willie Winky at the HMS CALLIOPE Burns Night.

A first class officer - and reservist to boot.

 

Nice to a few faces I remember from the training courses prior to
deployment . An outstanding job out there done by all.
We as a nation should feel very proud of our servicemen and women!

 

Fantastic stuff, very humbling to see what can be done, well done all round.

 

Absolutely Brilliant! And nice to see where the origins of 1:1 (Blood vrs Plasma) came from and it working in practice. We've just opened up a Trauma Unit and one of the things I managed to get accepted was 1:1 based on research / data coming out from the military (I'm a specialist nurse working with Blood Bank).

 

MG Good effort like your job. Saw our old Fleet diving group Doc Steve "P" on there demonstrating the CAT torniquet.
