The 'Flying ICU' From Iraq
Topics: Iraq
From the Boston Globe comes a report on the "flying ICU", that evacuated the wounded ABC newscasters from Iraq:
(...) On the five-hour flight from a frontline airfield in Iraq to a US military hospital in Germany, a dozen doctors, nurses and therapists attended to the badly wounded ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt.More...(...) The medical team formed a mobile intensive care unit toward the rear of the giant C-17 Air Force transport jet to care for the injured journalists throughout the trip, monitoring their heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure.
(...) "What you saw is why these two guys are alive, and why so many of our soldiers are still alive," said Dr. Laurence Ronan, a Massachusetts General Hospital internist who was on the flight that carried Vogt and Woodruff out of Iraq. "It is amazing, cutting edge medicine."
