That was a really good show. A little back ground on me-
when I was a boring 11b back in the deuce there was a time where there were no not many schools being offered for squat. I started taking correspondance courses.
remember those?
I completed the Army's Basic Medic Course and got a dual mos. Then I convinced the unit to send to me the six-week EMT-I course, then later to EMT-II I was slowly working my way up to Paramedic then Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Anyway I knew just a little bid about emergency medicine.
This Intraosseous infusion that was done of the SF Medic was awsome. That was not around back in my day. Hell, we were still using MAST Trousers back then!
But I researched it this morning and watched a training film on
WaisMed's BIG Bone Injection Gun.
I would have to think that this was something the military came up with. Military Emergency Medicine has been responsible for many many advances in medicine for a very long time-even dating back to the civil war.
Many of the modern advances have come from the feild expediency of out own 18D medics in the Special Operation Community.
I am not sure that very many people know that.
