Thank you, Richard.
Exactly!!! ABCDE's Although "E" (exposure) was started first to ID the injury, the combat medic did the rest correctly after seeing what he had to deal with. Agree with evacuation expeditiously as time is tissue and life. I teach my residents all the time about the Kiss principle.
Now I have to run to the OR. when I get back I will post the additional photos or the RUG.
