I wrote a paper with the U.S. and the British on how you prepare a surgeon for war. We surveyed what our allies were doing with regard to preparation for surgeons. It's very difficult to send surgeons, for training purposes, to conflicts that we're not involved in.
With regard to all of our allies, we have arrangements with civilian trauma centres. The U.S. has arrangements with Baltimore, Miami, and L.A. County. We have arrangements with various trauma centres in Canada where we work.
You're absolutely right, in that there are some differences in how you treat blast versus how you treat car accident, but the principles of some of the trauma management—how you have to stop the bleeding, how you resuscitate—are very similar.
In that same context, all the major trials that the military are interested in with regard to trauma resuscitation are actually carried out in the civilian setting. We realize that it's impossible to do these things in the military setting. The principles of bleeding and bleeding control are still the same.
