The Best Field Medicine Set-Up Available Is From the Israelis

Primary tabs

In case you missed the footage of the incredible field hospital set up by the Israelis' in Haiti, up and running a mere 48 hours after the quake, here it is "the best field medicine available". Digitally wired to send imagery out of the disaster area (in this case out of Haiti) to get the opinion of specialist elsewhere, create electronic medical records to track everything done for a patient, digital x-rays, neonatal intensive care, full surgery room, and a psychiatrist on staff with the unit to care for the medical team, as well as patients.

Imagine if this sort of set up became standard issue the US domestic and international disaster medical responders!
