Day 158: Training Dummy

Today, my medic and I conducted a training session for the Afghan Army medics on the care of abdominal wounds. The class went very well and the soldiers were confident in their ability to care for someone with abdominal trauma. In an attempt at self-entertainment, I offered myself as a training dummy for our Afghan medics-in-training. Here are some highlights from the day.


Who says doctors make bad patients?



Along for the ride!

From the pictures you can see that I had much more fun than the students did. Playing the role of the dying patient was about as exciting as my day got! Not too bad for government work. Just another day in the world of medical combat advising:)
