Navy doctors working for the Marine Corps have a mobile trauma centre, anaesthesiologist and all, can do about 18 surgeries a day...and they do them the way they should be done: on whoever needs help the most.
Go ahead, light into me about how American soldiers may die because Iraqis are being given higher priority. Wail and moan about how the soldiers'll probably just go back into battle and kill more Americans as soon as they can. Whether or not that's true, my friends, these are doctors whose devotion to the practise of saving lives transcends political, cultural, and social boundaries. Medicine is about saving lives, not making value judgments, not enforcing political lines.
