Videos from FTX

This is a CH-47 (Chinook) hovering at the airport across the street! I was distracted all week by all the helicopters!

This is a video of Pre-Op and OR. CPL Song is a KATUSA.

This is just a quick tour of the hospital. Unfortunately, I didn't get a video of the sleeping quarters, DFAC, chapel or other areas. But this gives you a general idea. The big long corridor would be filled with stretchers in a real MASCAL. It looks big now, but when you get a large number of wounded all at once, it could become too small real fast!

You didn't get a good one of the ER? It seems like the video time ran out, Love you and Miss You. I'm going to try to start my own blog, I forgot the password to the otherone.

That's because I saw people in there and wasn't sure if they had a patient or not. We were in the field but still try to maintain the same standards as in a fixed facility. That's not always possible (our ICU/ICW was a hallway between the rest of the hospital and the dining tent) but we do what we can. I didn't think video taping them was appropriate.
