Intro to Afghanistan
Posted by Philip Palmer MD on 08/23/2010
Well, five days into my deployment at Salerno. So far we have had one multi-trauma event and multiple single trauma calls. I have been to the OR several times. I've assisted on a fasciotomy, tracheostomy, and helped sew up a head wound on an Afghani woman who pointed a weapon at US soldiers. I also help out in the Troop Medical Clinic (walk-in clinic for soldiers). I'm trying to get settled into some type of routine. I think my body is slowly adjusting to the change in time zones; Afghanistan is 9 1/2 hours ahead of Oklahoma City. Great group of people here to work with. I'll try to send an update every few weeks to let you know how things are going.
