Oh, the types of wounds. I'm sorry.
Before everybody got very good at wearing body armour and before we bought good stuff that covers more of your body with ceramic plates and things, typical war wounds from conflicts like Vietnam, Korea, and the Second World War were a combination of shrapnel wounds and ballistic projectiles or aimed rifle rounds. We see very few rifle rounds now. There are some shrapnel wounds, but because of the protection that's offered to the trunk, they almost all involve the extremities.
The typical gut shot wound that was very messy and very difficult to deal with in the Second World War and Korea and Vietnam is not commonly seen and is certainly not one that is associated with other things that are more of a problem. Those were commonly fatal wounds. Different chest wounds and getting a bullet through the heart are not likely to lead to your survival.
Because we have fewer of those, proportionately we have far more of the extremity wounds and the head traumas. We have been amazed at the ability of some of our people to bounce back from serious closed head trauma. Dr. Bennett will tell you that a Glasgow coma scale of three can be awarded to a dead person. We have had people who have arrived at our treatment facility with a Glasgow coma scale score of three who walked out of hospital two and half to three months later, and none of us would have predicted such an outcome. So we're learning a lot from these new injury patterns.
What would I want in theatre? I don't really want anything more in the way of medical equipment. What I would like is to have twice as many general surgeons and orthopedic surgeons, so that we can keep the rotation going indefinitely. I need well-trained, experienced, highly motivated specialists.
Do you want anything else?
