Many advances in trauma care in civilian practice have developed from military experience. This book captures lessons from internal medicine, infectious disease, ethics, human factors, mental health and rehabilitation. Military Medicine provides context for these innovations, and is of interest to both military and civilian practitioners alike.
"This is a unique and important contribution for any provider, traumatologist or not, with an interest in the evolution of military healthcare during the recent Middle East wars. As two Surgeon Generals serving during these years note, the1990s saw enormous erosion in military medicine with degraded clinical capability. This work describes the efforts made to realize improvement in treatment, which has ultimately provided international rewards after the military experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. We now see the benefits originating with this military experience in civilian practice."
