Do you ever watch BBC World News ? As a doctor you might have a mild
interest in the following. This past week they have been doing ten
minute pieces about Iraq. Last night "Iraq War - to date 3,000
fatalities and over 50,000 wounded". Interesting though, the ratio
casualties to dead, Vietnam 3:1 whereas Iraq 16:1 - due to the fact
front line medical aid is more sophisticated, they are able to get more
alive back to the States.

Scientific American has an mp3 podcast for April 18, 2007 which covers
the improvements made in emergency care provided to soldiers by the US
military. Go to (sorry, I know some people don't like Go Tos!)
