re: ATTN: Wolfhound45 - Beyond the Call of Duty...

Almost done and bumping this thread and I hope that people read this because I wanted to share something from this book that I found very highly interesting.

In the last chapter or so the author is interviewing a Nurse Soloman of the 830 MAES. She was telling a story about how she was on a flight full of patients in bad weather. They were over water and past the point of no return. She had a patient that was in a full body cast. She was concerned what she would do with him if they had to ditch in the sea.

She explained: "We were taught that in case we were going down, and we knew we were going down, and if there was a patient that couldn't be moved into a raft, just to overdose him with morphine."

Wow... I never would have expected that...
